Claims15
An image forming apparatus in which a login application operating on a framework and for authenticating a user is installed, the apparatus comprising:
- an operation unit;
- one or more memory devices that store a set of instructions;
- and
- one or more processors that execute the set of instructions to:
- transmit, by the framework, an activation request of the login application;
- transmit, by the framework, a display request for displaying a predetermined screen on the operation unit of the image forming apparatus when transmitting the activation request of the login application;
- activate the login application upon receiving the activation request of the login application;
- and
- cause the operation unit to display a login screen for receiving authentication information upon completing the activation of the login application,
- wherein the predetermined screen for restricting an operation from the operation unit is displayed on the operation unit in accordance with the display request until the login screen is displayed, and thereafter the login screen is displayed on the operation unit instead of the predetermined screen without receiving an instruction from the operation unit.
A control method for an image forming apparatus comprising an operation unit and in which a login application operating on a framework and for authenticating a user is installed, the control method comprising:
- transmitting, by the framework, an activation request of the login application;
- transmitting, by the framework, a display request for displaying a predetermined screen on the operation unit of the image forming apparatus when transmitting the activation request of the login application;
- activating the login application upon receiving the activation request of the login application;
- and
- causing the operation unit to display a login screen for receiving authentication information upon completing the activation of the login application,
- wherein the predetermined screen for restricting an operation from the operation unit is displayed on the operation unit in accordance with the display request until the login screen is displayed, and thereafter the login screen is displayed on the operation unit instead of the predetermined screen without receiving an instruction from the operation unit.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program for causing a computer to execute steps of a control method for an image forming apparatus comprising an operation unit and in which a login application operating on a framework and for authenticating a user is installed, the control method comprising:
- transmitting, by the framework, an activation request of the login application;
- transmitting, by the framework, a display request for displaying a predetermined screen on the operation unit of the image forming apparatus when transmitting the activation request of the login application;
- activating the login application upon receiving the activation request of the login application;
- and
- causing the operation unit to display a login screen for receiving authentication information upon completing the activation of the login application,
- wherein the predetermined screen for restricting an operation from the operation unit is displayed on the operation unit in accordance with the display request until the login screen is displayed, and thereafter the login screen is displayed on the operation unit instead of the predetermined screen without receiving an instruction from the operation unit.
