An image forming apparatus connected to plural authentication servers includes an acquiring unit configured to acquire user identifying information identifying a user and a password; a selecting unit configured to select server identifying information identifying two or more of the plural authentication servers; an authentication process unit configured to transmit the user identifying information and the password to the two or more authentication servers, identified by the selected server identifying information, and acquire an authentication result from the two or more authentication servers. The authentication process unit determines that authentication is successful upon reception of the authentication result indicating successful authentication by at least one of the two or more authentication servers. The image forming apparatus further includes a process unit configured to process image data upon determination of successful authentication by the authentication process unit.
