Information processing apparatus, authentication control method, and authentication control program

摘要

An information processing apparatus includes a user information managing part that manages registered user information, an authentication part that performs user authentication using the registered user information managed by the user information managing part, an external authentication part that controls an external computer to perform authentication on user information input via an input interface and acquires authenticated user information from the computer when the input user information is successfully authenticated by the computer, and a registration part that registers the authenticated user information acquired by the external authentication part in the user information managing part as the registered user information.

主权项

1. An image forming apparatus, comprising:
an image output unit configured to output image data; a first receiving unit configured to receive recording medium identification information read from a single recording medium by a reading device; a second receiving unit configured to receive input information input by a user; a first authentication process control unit configured to perform a first authentication process, in which the user is requested to input only the input information as authentication information, using the input information; a second authentication process control unit configured to perform a second authentication process, in which the user is requested to cause the reading device to read, as the authentication information, only the recording medium identification information from the single recording medium, using the recording medium identification information; a third authentication process control unit configured to perform a third authentication process, in which the user is requested to input only, as a first part of the authentication information, the input information, and cause the reading device to read, as a second part of the authentication information, the recording medium identification information from the single recording medium, using the recording medium identification information and the input information; a first registration unit configured to register, in a memory of the image forming apparatus, first registration information for selecting and controlling one of the first, second, and third authentication processes; and an authentication processing unit configured to cause one of the first, second, and third authentication processes to be performed to carry out authentication on the authentication information, based on the registered first registration information.
