The information processing apparatus controls display of a screen for instructing execution of the application to, when it is determined that execution of the application is permitted, display the screen on a display unit, and when it is determined that execution of the application is inhibited, restrict an instruction to execute the application.

Abstract: A local application is prepared for each access destination for accessing the URL of a Web application. Upon calling the local application, a setting and URL associated with it are set and displayed in a Web browser. The local application monitors the state of the Web browser and initializes the state of the Web browser when they are hidden.

Abstract: There is provided an information processing system, information processing apparatus, and a method of controlling the same. Upon receiving an encrypted application and encrypted license information, the information processing apparatus decrypts the encrypted license information and the encrypted application. It is determined whether or not the decrypted application is a web application, and in the case where the application is determined to be a web application, a URL contained in the application and information contained in the license information are registered, and a display item corresponding to the application is displayed in a menu screen.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The present invention provides an information processing apparatus having a browser function and a method of controlling an information processing apparatus. A button to be displayed on a menu screen, a function associated with the button, and information regarding whether the button has an attribute of the bookmark information are stored as button information. If the button information of a button included in the menu screen is the bookmark information when displaying the menu screen, it is determined whether or not the function category information of the bookmark information corresponds to a function that is restricted to a user who has logged in. If it is determined that the function category information of the bookmark information is restricted to the user, the menu screen is displayed such that a button corresponding to the bookmark information cannot be operated.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided. In some embodiments, a first computing system receives a credential from a browser on a second computing system, determines whether the credential is valid, generates a string of numeric characters, associates the string of numeric characters with the credential, and sends the string of numeric characters to the second computing system. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first computing system receives an identifier that identifies a security token, determines whether the identifier matches an entry in a data store, prompts a user to input information via a user interface, receives a string of characters via the user interface, determines whether the string of characters received via the user interface matches the string of numeric characters, and performs a registration process such that the identifier is associated with a user account in the data store, the user account associated with the credential.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus which can execute an application requiring user authentication displays a Web page without performing authentication in a case where a local browser requests for a Web page upon logging in to the information processing apparatus. On the other hand, in a case where a remote browser requests for a Web page, the apparatus causes the remote browser to display an authentication screen and displays a Web page based on authentication performed via the authentication screen.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus which makes it possible to provide restricted access thereto without requiring an information processing apparatus to have a special authentication function. The image forming apparatus receives authentication information input by a user using a user interface, and receives a connection request transmitted from the information processing apparatus. When receiving the connection request, the image forming apparatus determines whether or not the user has been authenticated based on the received authentication information. If the user has been authenticated, the image forming apparatus permits execution of processing from the information processing apparatus thereto, whereas if not, it refuses execution of processing from the information processing apparatus.

Abstract: When a first MFP that manages first and second conversion values of user authentication information accesses a second MFP, the first MFP queries about which conversion value is used by the second MFP to execute user authentication processing. The first MFP transmits information based on a conversion value in accordance with the query result to the second MFP. Then, the second MFP executes user authentication processing using information based on a conversion value in accordance with the query result and a conversion value managed by the second MFP.

Abstract: An output job in an image forming apparatus not connected to a network is managed. To accomplish this, an image forming apparatus in an image forming system includes an input unit which inputs document data stored in a recording medium, a verification unit which verifies the validity of the document data on the basis of verification information associated with the input document data, an output unit which forms and outputs an image on a print medium on the basis of the document data, and an output log storing control unit which, when it is determined that the document data is valid, stores, in the recording medium, output log information containing no output image, and when it is determined that the document data is invalid, stores output log information containing the output image in the recording medium.
