<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To apply a security countermeasure for access to an external device, in an image processor performing image processing service by use of the external device. <P>SOLUTION: In this image processor, when service of the external device used through second authentication is additionally registered (S62) in a situation wherein an individual account for logging on to the image processor through first authentication is already provided (S60), security levels of the first authentication and the second authentication are acquired (S64, S66). When the security level of the first authentication is lower (S68), stop setting is performed such that a request for the service using the external device cannot be performed from the individual account (S70). When a user tries to use the external service, warning display is performed to the user (S74), and resetting of a password is prompted (S76). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
