I think you are running into a problem that’s due to some recent changes to the [Discourse SSO](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true) code. If a user’s email address is not validated, Discourse is no longer matching existing users based on their email address. This is a good change, but is going to cause issues for some sites. I’ll look into finding a workaround for the issue.

To confirm that this is the problem, do you know if the users who are successfully logging into Discourse are having to respond to the Discourse activation email before they can first login?
