An application program sends a GetAssociationInfo string to CMIP services, filling in the types of information it requires. CMIP services returns an AssociationInfo string containing the desired information.

The labels used to identify the information on the response are identical to the named bits on the request.

The value is the value corresponding to the label. For securityInfo, the value is the information passed (if any) from the association partner when the association was requested. For securityInfo, the value is saved only on the target CMIP services.

For peerAuthenticationPerformed, the value (on both initiating and target systems) is 0 if no authentication is performed by CMIP services and 1 if DES-based security is performed for this association by CMIP services.
