Abstract
An image processing apparatus associates application information to connect to a server device and a client certificate to transmit to the server device with each other and stores therein the associated application information and client certificate. An application managing part activates a browser with designating transmission of the client certificate which is associated with the application information. The browser transmits the client certificate identified by the application managing part to the server device when a request for transmission of the client certificate is received from the server device. As the result, the image processing apparatus reduces operation load placed on a user to transmit the client certificate to the server device. Moreover, the appropriate client certificate may be transmitted to the server device without lowering efficiency in processing. So, data communication between the image processing apparatus and the server device may be established rapidly.
