Thanks a lot, Anders,
I think I overlooked what the meaning of the configurable ID tag (4) in the
dia file is , which is supposed to be the important application ID to be
used in the configuration. Your suggestion about the prefix is also right.
But now I am just learning erlang diameter library.
I just try to follow the sample RAR message style, and am still having
issue with sending CCR message. The client configuration now is:
-define(SERVICE(Name), [{'Origin-Host', ?L(Name) ++ ".example.com"},
{'Origin-Realm', "example.com"},
{'Vendor-Id', 193},
{'Product-Name', "Client"},
{'Auth-Application-Id', [?DIAMETER_APP_ID_CCRA]},
{application, [{alias, ?APP_CCR_ALIAS},
{dictionary, ?DIAMETER_DICT_CCRA},
{module, client_cb_ccra}]}]).
Try to send CCR message:
call(Name) ->
SId = diameter:session_id(?L(Name)),
CCR = #diameter_base_rfc4006_cc_CCR{
'Session-Id' = SId,
'Service-Context-Id' = "Test",
'CC-Request-Type' =
?'DIAMETER_BASE_RFC4006_CC_CC-REQUEST-TYPE_INITIAL_REQUEST',
'CC-Request-Number' = 0,
'Auth-Application-Id' = ?DIAMETER_APP_ID_CCRA,
'User-Name' = "Me"},
diameter:call(Name, ?APP_CCR_ALIAS, CCR, []).
In the client callback module:
prepare_request(#diameter_packet{msg = Rec}, _, {_, Caps}) ->
#diameter_caps{origin_host = {OH, DH},
origin_realm = {OR, DR}}
= Caps,
{send, Rec#diameter_base_rfc4006_cc_CCR{'Origin-Host' = OH,
'Origin-Realm' = OR,
'Destination-Host' = DH,
'Destination-Realm' = DR}}.
I got the error about AVP property:
=ERROR REPORT==== 22-Mar-2013::00:17:31 ===
why: {diameter_codec,encode,
{{repeated_avp_excessive_arity,'Destination-Host',1,
"server.example.com",'CCR'},
[{diameter_gen_base_rfc4006_cc,encode_avps,2,
[{file,"diameter_gen_base_rfc4006_cc.erl"},{line,47}]},
{diameter_codec,e,2,[{file,"diameter_codec.erl"},{line,112}]},
{diameter_codec,encode,2,
[{file,"diameter_codec.erl"},{line,63}]},
{diameter_traffic,encode,3,
[{file,"diameter_traffic.erl"},{line,1437}]},
{diameter_traffic,send_R,6,
[{file,"diameter_traffic.erl"},{line,1276}]},
{diameter_traffic,'-send_request/4-fun-0-',4,
[{file,"diameter_traffic.erl"},{line,1050}]}]}}
who: <0.180.0>
what: {diameter_codec,encode,
[diameter_gen_base_rfc4006_cc,
{diameter_packet,
{diameter_header,1,undefined,undefined,undefined,
1330492780,1330492780,undefined,undefined,undefined,
undefined},
undefined,
{diameter_base_rfc4006_cc_CCR,
["client",";","1425429748",";","2",";","nonode@REDACTED
"],
"client.example.com","example.com","example.com",4,
"Test",1,0,"server.example.com
","Me",[],[],[],[],[],[],
[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[]},
undefined,[],undefined}]}
My understanding is that the client callback prepare_request sets the
"Destination-Host" (retrievd via the CER/A done at earilier stage) in the
CCR message. So I should set it right. But seems I still misunderstand
something. Does the error information "repeated_avp_excessive_arity" mean "
0-1 Zero or one instance of the AVP MAY be present in the message. It is
considered an error if there is more than one instance of the AVP"
according to rfc4006 spec? The erlang error message is not that
straightforward, really confusing newbies:).
Do you have any hints? (I hope I could provide some ramp up steps for
other people to learn with erlang diameter library after making it work^_^)
Many thanks,
Samuel
