For anyone else searching for a solution:

We had the same problem and only found a solution when looking into the soure code:

> <https://github.com/discourse/discourse-saml/blob/d5001ba62a5d8fea64cf5835dd0431c63647c0a7/lib/saml_authenticator.rb#L131-L137>

`fullName` is ignored.  
You have to have a mapping to the fields `firstName` and `lastName` for discourse in your Identity provider (We used Keycloak)
