Abstract
An image processing apparatus for providing at least a service to a service requester receives a service execution request and authentication information of a service requester from the service requester and issues a request for authenticating the service requester to an authentication service. Also, the image processing apparatus executes the requested service based on an authentication result transmitted from the authentication service. Further, the image processing apparatus manages an execution state of the executed service and an authentication state of the service requestor by associating the execution state with the authentication state.
