METHOD AND PROGRAM FOR CONTROLLING PLATFORM, PLATFORM CONTROLLER AND STORAGE MEDIUM WITH PLATFORM CONTROL PROGRAM STORED THEREIN

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable an application to use a plurality of platform products without being aware of differences among the plurality of platform products. SOLUTION: An integrated authentication mechanism 32 manages correspondence between integrated authentication information and individual authentication information, uses the integrated authentication information to perform user authentication with the application and uses the individual authentication information to receive authentication of a platform product about a user who succeeds in authentication. An integrated session management mechanism 33 uses an integrated session ID to perform session management with the application 20, uses an individual session ID to perform session management with the platform product 10 and manages the correspondence of the session IDs. An integrated API (application program interface) management mechanism 34 manages correspondence between an integrated unique API and an individual unique API and accesses the individual unique API in response to access to the integrated unique AP from the application 20.
