Abstract: The present invention relates to a log-in method for a client server system which enables a client computer to log in to a server accessible via either the Internet or a LAN with high security and operability. When a server 101 receives a connection request from a client computer 102, the server 101 obtains an IP address of the client computer 102 and judges based on the IP address a network to which the client computer 102 is connected. When the server 101 judges that the client computer 102 is a client computer 102c connected to the Internet 105, the server 101 causes the client computer 102 to display a first log-in screen. On the other hand, when the server 101 judges that the client computer 102 is a client computer 102a or 102b connected to the LAN 102, the server 101 causes the client computer 102 to display a second log-in screen which can be more easily operated than the first log-in screen.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a web page uploading method in which whether or not a web page is suitable for being made public can be checked without imposing a burden on an administrator and a web server. When a client computer in which a software for editing and uploading a web page is installed is instructed to upload the web page (S401), the client computer checks whether or not predetermined bad words are contained in the web page prior to uploading the web page to the web server (S402 to S406). Then, the web page subjected to the checking operation in this manner is uploaded (S409) and the data file representing the result of the checking operation is uploaded (S410), thereby completing the uploading of the web page.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a web page uploading system which enables easy editing and uploading of a web page without specifying an upload area to which the web page is to be uploaded each time the web page is to be uploaded. When web editing software is launched while a web page is being browsed a client computer obtains data regarding an area in a web server where the web page is stored and the web page. When the web page edited by the web editing software is to be uploaded by the client computer, the client computer uploads the web page to the registered area in the web servers.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide groupware that reduces the burden of operation upon the user. The groupware according to the present invention operates upon a stipulated OS and permits usage by various users upon login and comprises: means of changing the parameters of stipulated applications associated to said groupware depending on the username at the time of login and means of returning said parameters of said stipulated applications at the time of logoff to their state prior to said login. With the present invention, parameters of the stipulated applications are changed depending on the username at the time of login, so there is no need for the users to change various settings and the like manually themselves, thus lessening the burden of operation. In addition, these parameters are returned to their original states at the time of logoff, so they do not affect the next user.

Abstract: An authentication method for a system comprising multiple intramural LANs connected with a central server comprises a step of issuing a school ID from a central server to an intramural server via the Internet, a step of informing a user via a client computer connected to the intramural server that the user is authorized to use a first application in the intramural server and a second application in the central server when a login request is received from the client computer, a step of transmitting the school ID from the intramural server to the central server when a request to use the second application is received from the client computer, and a step of permitting the client computer to use the second application when the school ID is received by the central server.
