Abstract: Port numbers allocated to each HTTP server are registered in association with identification information of the corresponding HTTP server in a port managing table. A worker HTTP server refers to the port managing table and determines unique port numbers as internal ports thereof that do not overlap with port numbers allocated to other HTTP servers.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a plurality of virtual machines, each including an application managing unit that determines whether an application can process a client request by referring to address information specified in the client request and application information. One of the virtual machines includes a request transferring unit that identifies a virtual machine to which a client request is to be transferred by referring to overall application information and address information, and transfers the request to identified virtual machine.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an interface detachably connecting a portable recording medium and a first writing part writing setting information stored in a storage unit internally mounted in the image forming apparatus to the portable recording medium with identification information of the image forming apparatus.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus is provided with a first generating part to generate an encrypted image data by subjecting an input image data to a predetermined encryption process, a second generating part to generate a decryption key that is used when decrypting the encrypted image data, wherein a different decryption key is generated every time the encrypted image data is generated, and an identifier that is uniquely determined based on the encrypted image data is generated. An outputting part is further provided to form decryption key information by adding the identifier to the decryption key, and to store the decryption key information in a removable storage medium that is connected to the image forming apparatus.
