Image processing system, information processing device, computer readable medium, and job execution method

An information processing device connected with each of a job cooperation server for executing a predetermined processing for execution of a job, an image processing device for cooperating with said job cooperation server and executing the job and an authentication server for executing user authentication and issuing an underlying ticket corresponding to a user and for issuing a ticket to use said job cooperation server based on said underlying ticket through a network, said information processing device comprising:

• an underlying ticket acquisition part for acquiring said underlying ticket from said authentication server by sending a request for authentication attaching authentication information to said authentication server;
• a storage part for storing therein said underlying ticket acquired by said underlying ticket acquisition part;
• a use ticket acquisition part for acquiring said ticket for said image processing device to use said job cooperation server from said authentication server by transmitting said underlying ticket stored in said storage part to said authentication server;
• and
• a ticket transmission part for making said job cooperation server available for said image processing device by transmitting said ticket acquired by said use ticket acquisition part to said image processing device.

A computer readable medium on which a program is stored, said program to be executed by an information processing device with which each of a job cooperation server for executing a predetermined processing necessary for execution of a job, an image processing device for cooperating with said job cooperation server and executing the job and an authentication server for executing user authentication and issuing an underlying ticket corresponding to a user and for issuing a ticket to use said job cooperation server based on said underlying ticket is connected through a network, said program causing said information processing device to execute processing comprising the steps of:

• (a) acquiring said underlying ticket from said authentication server by sending a request for authentication attaching authentication information to said authentication server;
• (b) storing said underlying ticket acquired in said step (a) in a predetermined storage part;
• (c) acquiring said ticket for said image processing device to use said job cooperation server from said authentication server by transmitting said underlying ticket stored in said storage part to said authentication server;
• and
• (d) making said job cooperation server available for said image processing device by transmitting said ticket acquired in said step (c) to said image processing device.

A job execution method employed in an image processing system comprising a job cooperation server for executing a predetermined processing necessary for execution of a job, an image processing device for cooperating with said job cooperation server and executing the job, an authentication server for executing user authentication and issuing an underlying ticket corresponding to a user and for issuing a ticket to use said job cooperation server based on said underlying ticket and an information processing device for acquiring said ticket to use said job cooperation server from said authentication server, each of which connected through a network, said job execution method comprising the steps of:

• (a) acquiring and storing said underlying ticket from said authentication server with sending of a request for authentication attaching authentication information to said authentication server by said information processing device;
• (b) sending a request for issuance of said ticket for said image processing device to use said job cooperation server with said underlying ticket from said information processing device to said authentication server;
• (c) transmitting said ticket for said image processing device to use said job cooperation server from said authentication server to said information processing device based on said request for issuance of ticket;
• (d) transmitting said ticket acquired from said authentication server to said image processing device by said information processing device, respectively;
• (e) storing said ticket received by said image processing device in a predetermined storage part;
• and
• (f) accessing said job cooperation server by said image processing device with said ticket stored in said storage part, and executing the job through cooperation with said job cooperation server.
