Hello Ronald 🙂 👋 really glad to see more and more Universities joining the Discourse family 😃

You have quite an interesting issue! My SAML/SSO fu isn’t strong so I am not sure what is happening here, but can you try enabling the `verbose sso logging` site setting? It would help show some useful errors on /logs and maybe say why you’re getting this issue or tell you something more specific that you can share here and we can better help.
