I used to have the same problem. Thymeleaf SpringSecurity only works with versions 3.x.x of thymeleaf, and the version that's shipped with Spring-boot is something like 2.x.x atm.

Looking up how to add v3.x.x to my project brought me to the following documentation page: http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#howto-use-thymeleaf-3

So you just need to add your dependencies, and then add the following in your properties to override the default version of thymeleaf to your dependencies:

3.0.2.RELEASE
2.1.1
