An information processing system, which is implemented by one or more information processing apparatuses, includes a first receiving unit configured to receive a first user identifier and a first organization identifier via a network from an external apparatus and a first authentication unit configured to perform authentication based on the first user identifier and the first organization identifier by referring to a storage unit storing one or more second user identifiers in association with second organization identifiers. The first authentication unit performs authentication by identifying an organization identifier matching the first organization identifier within the second organization identifiers and identifying a user identifier matching the first user identifier within the second user identifiers associated with the matching organization identifier.

Information processing system, information processing apparatus, and authentication method

A method for processing data with a terminal and a system connected to the terminal via a network, which includes the steps of executing a process according to a request transmitted from the terminal via the network, performing a first user authentication with respect to the terminal by using the terminal or an authentication apparatus connected to the terminal via the network, storing first authentication data used for the first user authentication in association with second authentication data used for a second user authentication in a storage unit, and performing the second user authentication with respect to the system. In a case where at least a portion of the first authentication data is authenticated by the first user authentication, the second user authentication is performed by using the first and second authentication data stored in the storage unit and the portion of the first authentication data.

Network system, data processing apparatus, and method for multi-factor authentication

Inputs from multiple input devices including an internal input device, a first external input device, and a second external input devicecan be made to a printing apparatus. The printing apparatusincludes a receiverthat receives, from a host device, a print job containing print user identification information that identifies a print user; an input controllerthat controls any one of the multiple input devices to serve as an input device that inputs authentication information that is used for authenticating the print user identification information; an authentication information input accepting unitthat accepts an input of the authentication information from the controlled input device; an authentication unitthat authenticates the print user identification information using the accepted authentication information; and a printing unitthat performs printing according to the print job when the authentication is successful.

Image forming apparatus, input control method, input control program, and storage medium

An apparatus stores accumulated jobs in a storage area, and outputs a shared job among the accumulated jobs that is set to be shared by plural users. The apparatus includes a job list display unit configured to display a job list generated based on job information of the accumulated jobs; and a job control unit configured to control output of an execution job selected from the job list. The job list display unit displays a shared job included in the job list that is determined as being allowed to be executed in the apparatus based on an allowance condition set when the shared job is set, and the job control unit outputs job data of a shared job selected as the execution job from the displayed job list, in an output format specified at the time of job execution.
