Communication apparatus, control method for information processing apparatus, and control method for system

A control method for an information processing apparatus communicable with a communication apparatus, the control method comprising:

• displaying a setting screen for accepting an input of setting information concerning Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) authentication as authentication based on IEEE802.1X/EAP;
• transmitting, to the communication apparatus, the setting information input to the setting screen;
• transmitting, to the communication apparatus, a request to execute the EAP authentication;
• and
• displaying, based on a failure of EAP authentication with a predetermined authentication server attempted by the communication apparatus based on the setting information input to the setting screen, a screen based on the failure of the EAP authentication,
• wherein, in a case where the request is accepted in a state in which the communication apparatus operating in a first communication mode is connected to another apparatus, the EAP authentication is attempted after connection based on the first communication mode is disconnected, and
• wherein, in a case where the request is accepted in a state in which the communication apparatus operating in a second communication mode is connected to the another apparatus, the EAP authentication is attempted without disconnecting connection based on the second communication mode.

A control method for a system including an information processing apparatus and a communication apparatus, the control method comprising:

• in the communication apparatus,
• transmitting, to the information processing apparatus, information for displaying a setting screen for accepting an input of setting information concerning Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) authentication as authentication based on IEEE802.1X/EAP;
• in the information processing apparatus,
• displaying the setting screen if the information for displaying the setting screen is received,
• transmitting, to the communication apparatus, the setting information input to the setting screen, and
• transmitting, to the communication apparatus, a request to execute the EAP authentication;
• in the communication apparatus,
• receiving, from the information processing apparatus, the setting information input to the setting screen,
• accepting the request,
• attempting, in a case where the request is accepted, EAP authentication with a predetermined authentication server based on the setting information input to the setting screen, and
• transmitting, based on a failure of the EAP authentication, information for displaying a screen based on the failure of the EAP authentication to the information processing apparatus;
• and
• in the information processing apparatus,
• displaying, if the information for displaying the screen based on the failure of the EAP authentication is received, the screen based on the failure of the EAP authentication,
• wherein, in a case where the request is accepted in a state in which the communication apparatus operating in a first communication mode is connected to another apparatus, the EAP authentication is attempted after connection based on the first communication mode is disconnected, and
• wherein, in a case where the request is accepted in a state in which the communication apparatus operating in a second communication mode is connected to the another apparatus, the EAP authentication is attempted without disconnecting connection based on the second communication mode.
