This is a major version upgrade from 1.4.0 to 3.0.9, skipping version 2.x entirely. Okta Spring Boot Starter 2.0 and 3.0 introduced significant breaking changes including:

1. Package restructuring and API changes in the Okta SDK
2. Changes to configuration property names and structure
3. Spring Boot and Spring Security version compatibility requirements

The code in AdminController uses Okta SDK classes (Client, User, UserBuilder, UserList) and the application.properties file uses configuration properties that may have changed between versions. Without automated tests to verify compatibility, this upgrade poses significant risk of breaking the application at runtime.

Consider:

• Adding integration tests before upgrading to verify the existing functionality
• Reviewing the Okta Spring Boot Starter migration guides for versions 2.x and 3.x
• Testing that the AdminController endpoints still work correctly
• Verifying the configuration properties in application.properties are still valid
