<p>An information processing apparatus to execute an application includes first and second authentication units, first and second storage units, a request unit, and an application execution unit. The first authentication unit authenticates a user of the information processing apparatus. The first storage unit stores first certification information relating to the authentication of a user. The request unit requests a second authentication unit to perform authentication required to execute the application using the first certification information when the application is executed based on an instruction from the user authenticated by the first authentication unit. The application execution unit executes the application when the authentication performed by the second authentication unit based on the request by the request unit has succeeded. The second storage unit stores second certification information relating to the second authentication unit authentication required to execute the application after associating the second certification information with the first certification information.</p> |
