Description (last modified by Nick Draper) (diff)
In this case you get an error message on login and the instrument combobox on the ICatSearch dialog is empty.
However, it is a valid use case that a user at the SNS might have done experiments at ISIS in the past and want to compare their data from there. There needs to be an easier way to make this work than at present (which is to go to the preferences and change your facility, and probably remember to change it back afterwards).
Also, where does this list of ISIS instruments come from? Stuart pointed out that one of them (HERBI) was a proposed TS2 instrument that didn't get funded.

While testing #8204 I've faced these problems as well. It is reproducible with any default facility apart from ISIS.
If you set it to e.g. SmuS, and try to search, it gives you results for LOQ. When you return to First Time Setup, your default facility and instrument are changed to ISIS -> LOQ.

This has currently been fixed (in that you a drop-down list containing facilities is in the login dialog), but is not possible to fully verify (as only ISIS has an ICAT implementation).
Once I have implemented ICAT for SNS (in next release) this ticket can be verified.

Replying to Jay Rainey:
Once I have implemented ICAT for SNS (in next release) this ticket can be verified.
Verification that it is working is evident in #8811 where users at SNS could log in using the log-in dialog box.

The important point of this ticket - that you couldn't log into a facility's catalog if that facility was not your default one - is fixed by the addition of the drop-down box.
I can now log into and search the ISIS ICat when my facility is set to be the SNS. One minor point is that at the top of the search dialog it says "Currently logged into SNS" - that should be fixed, but it does correctly populate the instrument combobox.
I can also log into the SNS ICat. It seems like you can't do anything (the instrument combobox is empty), but that's outside the scope given for this ticket.

This ticket has been transferred to github issue 2671
Once we have an implementation for the SNS this becomes more of an issue.
At which point we need to add the facility drop down to the login box and use that.
The instruments list comes from the catalog implementation itself, so ICAT thinks HERBI exists even though we know better.
