Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and computer-readable recording medium storing a program

摘要

An information processing apparatus includes: a first storage part that stores correspondence information between a card ID and user identification information; a user identification part that identifies the user identification information corresponding to the card ID in response to an input of the card ID; and an authentication request part that requests an authentication to an authentication device connected through a network based on the user identification information identified by the user identification part. The user identification part inquires the authentication device about the corresponding user identification information with respect to the card ID that is not stored in the first storage part.
