Spring Security and Okta - spring-security

Question

I've read several blogs about this subject and all the stackoverflow.com articles I can get my hands on, but nothing seems to answer the problem I've been encountering.
I've followed several Okta examples online, including the main blog post that was posted this year. I still run into the issue below, which when I trace through the spring-security code gets me to the voting process in spring and it fails.
TRACE 2017-08-22 16:45:11,128 [org.springframework.web.context.support.XmlWebApplicationContext] - Publishing event in Root WebApplicationContext: org.springframework.security.access.event.AuthorizationFailureEvent[source=FilterInvocation: URL: /SSO]
DEBUG 2017-08-22 16:45:11,129 [org.springframework.security.web.access.ExceptionTranslationFilter] - Access is denied (user is anonymous); redirecting to authentication entry point

at org.springframework.security.access.vote.AffirmativeBased.decide(AffirmativeBased.java:83)
at org.springframework.security.access.intercept.AbstractSecurityInterceptor.beforeInvocation(AbstractSecurityInterceptor.java:206)
In my setup I'm not using spring boot or spring annotations, but rather good ol' spring xml configuration. I've look at the configuration enough that I don't see where the issue lies.

XML parser pool needed for OpenSAML parsing
WARNING: If customizing a ParserPool implementation See https://shibboleth.net/community/advisories/secadv_20131213.txt
Specifically the following should be explicitly set to avoid exploits:
1) set pool property 'expandEntityReferences' to 'false'
2) set feature 'javax.xml.XMLConstants.FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING' to true
3) set feature 'http://apache.org/xml/features/disallow-doctype-decl' to true. This is a Xerces-specific feature,
including derivatives such as the internal JAXP implementations supplied with the Oracle and OpenJDK JREs. For
other JAXP implementations, consult the documentation for the implementation for guidance on how to achieve a
similar configuration.

Thanks in advance for any help or for pointing me in the right direction.

This guide is a bit old, but it shows how to make things work with good ol' Spring XML: https://developer.okta.com/code/java/spring_security_saml.html
