The problem is a mismatch between the application and capabilities
configuration in your SvcOpts: the 'Auth-Application-Id' tuple
specifies the Application Id's that are advertised in the outgoing
CER/CEA (that diameter itself sends) while 'applications' specifies
corresponding dictionary modules. In your case, advertising the common
application (0) during capabilities exchange but backing it up with a
dictionary that implement CC (4) is what causes things to go south.
What you want is something like this:
{'Auth-Application-Id', [0,4]},
{application, [{alias, cc},
{dictionary, diameter_gen_base_rfc4006},
{module, [server_cb, cc]}],
{application, [{alias, base},
{dictionary, diameter_gen_base_rfc6733},
{module, [server_cb, base]}]}
That is, advertise both application with the Auth-Application-Id
config and configure corresponding dictionaries with 'application'
config. You might prefer two different callback modules (instead of an
extra argument) but the point is to match your advertised capabilities
with your configured dictionaries.
On a side note, you shouldn't use a diameter prefix on your own
dictionaries, so as not to collide with something diameter does in the
future.
