International Classification:

H04L 9/32
G06F 15/16
G06F 21/00

US Classification:

726 7

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.

CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHA - Tokyo

International Classification:

G06F 21/00

US Classification:

726 19

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. The second storage unit stores second certification information relating to the second authentication unit authentication required to execute the application after associating the second certification information with the first certification information.

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.
