INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM
An information processing apparatus includes a receiving unit that receives an authentication request using first account information identifying an account for use of a service provided by a linkage source; and an inquiring unit that, in a case where the received first account information is associated with second account information identifying an account for use of a service provided by an external authentication apparatus, inquires the external authentication apparatus as to whether or not the second account information is registered.
1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:
a receiving unit that receives an authentication request using first account information identifying an account for use of a service provided by a linkage source; and
an inquiring unit that, in a case where the received first account information is associated with second account information identifying an account for use of a service provided by an external authentication apparatus, inquires the external authentication apparatus as to whether or not the second account information is registered.
2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a memory in which the first account information, the second account information, and identification information for confirmation of registration of the second account information are stored in association with one another,
wherein the inquiring unit acquires, from the memory, the identification information for confirmation of registration that corresponds to the first account information received by the receiving unit and inquires the external authentication apparatus as to whether or not the second account information is registered on a basis of the identification information for confirmation of registration.
3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a permission unit that permits use of a service provided by the information processing apparatus in a case where a response indicating that the second account information is registered is received from the external authentication apparatus.
4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising a permission unit that permits use of a service provided by the information processing apparatus in a case where a response indicating that the second account information is registered is received from the external authentication apparatus.
5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein
the inquiring unit does not make the inquiry in a case where the first account information is associated with third account information identifying an account for use of a service provided by the information processing apparatus; and
the permission unit permits use of the service provided by the information processing apparatus.
6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein
the inquiring unit does not make the inquiry in a case where the first account information is associated with third account information identifying an account for use of a service provided by the information processing apparatus; and
the permission unit permits use of the service provided by the information processing apparatus.
7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein
in a case where a response indicating that the second account information is not registered is received from the external authentication apparatus, the permission unit does not permit use of the service provided by the information processing apparatus.
8 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein
in a case where a response indicating that the second account information is not registered is received from the external authentication apparatus, the permission unit does not permit use of the service provided by the information processing apparatus.
9 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein
in a case where a response indicating that the second account information is not registered is received from the external authentication apparatus, the permission unit does not permit use of the service provided by the information processing apparatus.
10 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein
in a case where a response indicating that the second account information is not registered is received from the external authentication apparatus, the permission unit does not permit use of the service provided by the information processing apparatus.
11 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 , further comprising an updating unit that updates the memory by deleting corresponding information from the memory in a case where a response indicating that the second account information is not registered is received from the external authentication apparatus.
12 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 , further comprising an updating unit that updates the memory by deleting corresponding information from the memory in a case where a response indicating that the second account information is not registered is received from the external authentication apparatus.
13 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 , further comprising an updating unit that updates the memory by deleting corresponding information from the memory in a case where a response indicating that the second account information is not registered is received from the external authentication apparatus.
14 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 10 , further comprising an updating unit that updates the memory by deleting corresponding information from the memory in a case where a response indicating that the second account information is not registered is received from the external authentication apparatus.
15 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein
the memory stores therein the first account information, the second account information, the identification information for confirmation of registration of the second account information, third account information identifying an account for use of a service provided by the information processing apparatus, and identification information for confirmation of registration of the third account information in association with one another; and
in a case where a plurality of pieces of identification information for confirmation of registration stored in the memory in association with the first account information received by the receiving unit are acquired, a selection screen prompting selection of any of the plurality of pieces of identification information for confirmation of registration is presented to an authentication requestor.
16 . An information processing system comprising:
a memory in which first account information identifying an account for use of a service provided by a linkage source, second account information identifying an account for use of a service provided by an external authentication apparatus, and identification information for confirmation of registration of the second account information are stored in association with one another;
a receiving unit that receives an authentication request using the first account information; and
an inquiring unit that, in a case where the received first account information is associated with the second account information, acquires the identification information for confirmation of registration corresponding to the first account information from the memory and inquires the external authentication apparatus as to whether or not the second account information is registered on a basis of the identification information for confirmation of registration.
17 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:
receiving an authentication request using first account information identifying an account for use of a service provided by a linkage source; and
in a case where the received first account information is associated with second account information identifying an account for use of a service provided by an external authentication apparatus, inquiring the external authentication apparatus as to whether or not the second account information is registered.
