User's IP address constantly changing

Hello,

I'm seeing some message like these in our logs that look related to a SAML failure a user reported:

2023-07-25 12:21:42,432 - ERROR [net.shibboleth.idp.authn.ExternalAuthenticationException:91] - [E238ADD6795AF3ACD070BCC219B30FB4] - [40.94.31.24] -
net.shibboleth.idp.authn.ExternalAuthenticationException: No ExternalInterceptorContext found
        at net.shibboleth.idp.authn.ExternalAuthentication.getExternalAuthenticationContext(ExternalAuthentication.java:253)
2023-07-25 12:21:42,516 - ERROR [net.shibboleth.idp.authn.ExternalAuthenticationException:91] - [E238ADD6795AF3ACD070BCC219B30FB4] - [40.94.31.45] -
net.shibboleth.idp.authn.ExternalAuthenticationException: No ExternalInterceptorContext found
        at net.shibboleth.idp.authn.ExternalAuthentication.getExternalAuthenticationContext(ExternalAuthentication.java:253)
2023-07-25 12:21:42,884 - ERROR [net.shibboleth.idp.authn.ExternalAuthenticationException:91] - [E238ADD6795AF3ACD070BCC219B30FB4] - [40.94.31.56] -
net.shibboleth.idp.authn.ExternalAuthenticationException: No ExternalInterceptorContext found

so the user's IP address keeps changing. This then breaks SAML? We had a similar issue with our DHCP on our routers a while back where some users would get constantly changing IP addresses. Is the only solution to fix the DHCP service? Thanks!
