Abstract
An image forming apparatus that is capable of preventing occurrence of a security hole. A first receiving unit receives user information selected from a screen that is displayed by an operation unit of the image forming apparatus. A second receiving unit receives user information from an external apparatus via a network. An execution unit executes a login process based on user information received by the first or second receiving unit. A determination unit determines whether a password is set in the user information. A control unit restricts the login process based on the user information that is received by the second receiving unit and is determined that a password is not set.
Claims7
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a first receiving unit configured to receive user information selected from a screen that is displayed by an operation unit of the image forming apparatus;
- a second receiving unit configured to receive user information from an external apparatus via a network;
- an execution unit configured to execute a login process based on user information received by one of said first receiving unit and second receiving unit;
- a determination unit configured to determine whether a password is set in the user information;
- and
- a control unit configured to restrict the login process based on the user information that is received by said second receiving unit and is determined that a password is not set.
A control method for an image forming apparatus comprising:
- a first receiving step of receiving user information selected from a screen that is displayed by an operation unit of the image forming apparatus;
- a second receiving step of receiving user information from an external apparatus via a network;
- an execution step of executing a login process based on user information received in one of said first receiving step and said second receiving step;
- a determination step of determining whether a password is set in the user information;
- and
- a control step of restricting the login process based on the user information that is received by said second receiving unit and is determined that a password is not set.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a control program causing a computer to execute a control method for an image forming apparatus, the control method comprising:
- a first receiving step of receiving user information selected from a screen that is displayed by an operation unit of the image forming apparatus;
- a second receiving step of receiving user information from an external apparatus via a network;
- an execution step of executing a login process based on user information received in one of said first receiving step and said second receiving step;
- a determination step of determining whether a password is set in the user information;
- and
- a control step of restricting the login process based on the user information that is received by said second receiving unit and is determined that a password is not set.
