Description
Azure validates that a SAML ID may not begin with a number.
When signing in with this IdP the user has to login a few times until an ID is generated that happens to begin with a letter and then it works fine.

Research direction
Start by tracing the SAML login flow and the code that generates the SAML ID for Azure. Confirm the behavior with an Azure IdP whose generated ID begins with a digit; done means the ID meets Azure's validation and the user can sign in on the first attempt.
