Abstract
A client apparatus converts second input authentication information having a data content compliant with a second authentication method different from a first authentication method into authentication target information in a data format compliant with the first authentication method and transmits information corresponding to the authentication target information to a communication server apparatus. A server apparatus is capable of carrying out both a first process of providing a first authentication server apparatus that carries out an authentication process compliant with the first authentication method with first information corresponding to the authentication target information and a second process of providing a second authentication server apparatus that carries out an authentication process compliant with the second authentication method with second information corresponding to the authentication target information. The server apparatus transmits authentication result information based on at least one of a result of the authentication performed by the first authentication server apparatus based on the first information and a result of the authentication performed by the second authentication server apparatus based on the second information to the communication server apparatus.
