I had multiple issues, resolving them did the trick for me.

1. My group names needed to meet certain cirteria:

2. I did not understand that I needed to create the groups in advance. I thought that they would be created if they did not exist.

3. I needed to avoid caching in the sso-provider and ensure I get a refreshed list of groups etc.
