Abstract
It is determined whether signature check is set in installation of an application, and it is determined whether a permission included in the application is not a prohibited permission in a case where the signature check is not set.

Claims12
An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- a storage unit configured to store information that indicates whether the image forming apparatus is in a setting of checking a signature when an application is installed or not;
- a first determination unit configured to, using the information stored in the storage unit, determine whether the image forming apparatus is in the setting of checking a signature when an application is installed;
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire an application that is a target of installation;
- and
- a second determination unit configured to, using a signature of the application acquired by the acquisition unit, determine whether it is all right to install the application or not in a case where it is determined by the first determination unit that the image forming apparatus is in the setting of checking a signature when an application is installed, and configured to, using information regarding a permission included in the application acquired by the acquisition unit, determine whether it is all right to install the application or not in a case where it is determined by the first determination unit that the image forming apparatus is not in the setting of checking a signature when an application is installed.

A method for controlling an image forming apparatus, the method comprising:
- storing information that indicates whether the image forming apparatus is in a setting of checking a signature when an application is installed or not;
- determining, as a first determination using the information stored in the storing, whether the image forming apparatus is in the setting of checking a signature when an application is installed;
- acquiring an application that is a target of installation;
- and
- determining, as a second determination using a signature of the application acquired in the acquiring, whether it is all right to install the application or not in a case where it is determined in the first determination that the image forming apparatus is in the setting of checking a signature when an application is installed, and determining, using information regarding a permission included in the application acquired in the acquiring, whether it is all right to install the application or not in a case where it is determined in the first determination that the image forming apparatus is not in the setting of checking a signature when an application is installed.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program, the program causing an application-executable computer to execute an information processing method, the information processing method comprising:
- storing information that indicates whether the image forming apparatus is in a setting of checking a signature when an application is installed or not;
- determining, as a first determination using the information stored in the storing, whether the image forming apparatus is in the setting of checking a signature when an application is installed;
- acquiring an application that is a target of installation;
- and
- determining, as a second determination using a signature of the application acquired in the acquiring, whether it is all right to install the application or not in a case where it is determined in the first determination that the image forming apparatus is in the setting of checking a signature when an application is installed, and determining, using information regarding a permission included in the application acquired in the acquiring, whether it is all right to install the application or not in a case where it is determined in the first determination that the image forming apparatus is not in the setting of checking a signature when an application is installed.
