Authentication system for information processing apparatus, computer-redable recording medium, and update method

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium that contains a computer program that is implemented in an information processing apparatus including a processor, a registration information storage, a device information storage configured to store device information associated with a portable device and at least one item of user information, and a rule storage, the computer program causes the processor to execute:

• acquiring registration information which is stored in a master database;
• acquiring rule information representing an update method for synchronizing the registration information which is stored in the registration information storage with the registration information which is stored in the master database from the rule storage,
• updating the registration information which is stored in the registration information storage based on the acquired registration information and the acquired rule information which are stored in the master database,
• an equipment transmits device information acquired from a portable device that records the device information and is carried by a user to an authenticator of the information processing apparatus by including the device information in an authentication request, and
• updating stored corresponding device information according to an update of user information which is stored in the registration information.

An update method for an information processing apparatus including a processor, a registration information storage, a device information storage configured to store device information associated with a portable device and at least one item of user information, and a rule storage, the method comprising:

• acquiring, by the processor, registration information which is stored in a master database;
• acquiring, by the processor, rule information representing an update method for synchronizing the registration information which is stored in the registration information storage with the registration information which is stored in the master database from the rule storage,
• updating, by the processor, the registration information which is stored in the registration information storage based on the acquired registration information and the acquired rule information which are stored in the master database,
• an equipment transmits device information acquired from a portable device that records the device information and is carried by a user to an authenticator of the information processing apparatus by including the device information in an authentication request, and
