Abstract
When termination of information processing is instructed, the entry of a password is requested and the password that is entered is identified. When the password that is input is a password for a manager, the system is shut down; when it is a password for a registered user, the client process is terminated; but when it is a password for a person other than those two, permission to end the processing is not granted. Thus, the type of end process that is performed can be controlled in accordance with the identity of a user. As for the client process, upon receiving an end instruction from a user the client internally performs a corresponding end process, instead of requesting that the process be performed by the server process.
