A method for controlling an image reading apparatus comprising:

• receiving, from an information processing apparatus, a scanning request for push scanning for a designated destination;
• scanning an original document and generating image data in response to the scanning request;
• transmitting, to the destination, a request including authentication information for accessing the destination and the image data;
• saving the image data for transmission based on reauthentication if a response indicating that an error has occurred in authentication using the authentication information is received;
• and
• providing a notification of the error to the information processing apparatus,
• wherein if authentication information for reauthentication in response to the notification of the error is received from the information processing apparatus, a request including authentication information for the reauthentication and the saved image data is transmitted to the destination.
