I experienced this as well on LDAP based configuration. It happened to me when 
I tried to login as a user that is in LDAP but not yet created in Katello DB. 
When you login to Signo as such user and then try to access Katello, Signo 
tells you this is the user A however Katello does not know any user A.

With this patch [1] a user in such case will see old Katello login form so he 
can login using his LDAP credentials. Then he is automatically created in 
Katello D and next time, Signo will work as expected.

As soon as Signo starts providing user info we'll be able to create users on 
fly as well. Meanwhile user must login using old system at first to be created 
in Katello.
