Control method, information processing apparatus, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

An information processing apparatus that can execute authentication processing with a communication apparatus by a plurality of authentication schemes, wherein the plurality of authentication schemes includes a first scheme for performing the authentication processing when predetermined authentication information is inputted in the information processing apparatus and a second scheme for performing the authentication processing without input of the predetermined authentication information in the information processing apparatus, the apparatus comprising:

• at least one memory that stores a set of instructions;
• and
• at least one processor that executes the set of instructions to:
• perform display control to cause a display unit to display a guide screen, indicating user operation for at least one of the information processing apparatus and the communication apparatus for performing the authentication processing with the communication apparatus, wherein the guide screen is displayed in a case that the authentication scheme supported by the communication apparatus that is a target of the authentication processing is the first scheme and in a case that the authentication scheme supported by the communication apparatus that is the target of the authentication processing is the second scheme, and display contents of the guide screen differ depending on whether the authentication scheme supported by the communication apparatus that is the target of the authentication processing is the first scheme or the second scheme;
• perform, in a case where the authentication scheme supported by the communication apparatus is the first scheme, a second control for displaying a screen for accepting input of the predetermined authentication information after displaying the guide screen by the display control;
• and
• execute the authentication processing in accordance with an operation performed by a user after the guide is displayed by the display control,
• wherein the authentication processing with the communication apparatus is executed in accordance with an authentication scheme, among the plurality of authentication schemes, that is an authentication scheme corresponding to the communication apparatus that is the target of the authentication processing and corresponds to the displayed guide.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions for causing a computer to execute a method, wherein the plurality of authentication schemes includes a first scheme for performing the authentication processing when predetermined authentication information is inputted in the information processing apparatus and a second scheme for performing the authentication processing without input of the predetermined authentication information in the information processing apparatus, the method comprising:

• performing display control to cause a display unit to display a guide screen, indicating user operation for at least one of the information processing apparatus and the communication apparatus, for performing the authentication processing with the communication apparatus, wherein the guide screen is displayed in a case that the authentication scheme supported by the communication apparatus that is a target of the authentication processing is the first scheme and in a case that the authentication scheme supported by the communication apparatus that is the target of the authentication processing is the second scheme, and display contents of the guide screen differ depending on whether the authentication scheme supported by the communication apparatus that is the target of the authentication processing is the first scheme or the second scheme;
• performing, in a case where the authentication scheme supported by the communication apparatus is the first scheme, a second control for displaying a screen for accepting input of the predetermined authentication information after displaying the guide screen by the display control;
• and
• executing the authentication processing in accordance with an operation performed by a user after the guide is displayed by a control performed in the performing the display control,
• wherein
• in the executing, the authentication processing with the communication apparatus is executed in accordance with an authentication scheme, among the plurality of authentication schemes, that is an authentication scheme corresponding to the communication apparatus that is a target of the authentication processing and corresponds to the displayed guide.
