System, relay client, control method, and storage medium

A relay client capable of providing a management screen to an information processing apparatus, the relay client comprising:

• a memory storing instructions;
• and
• a processor which is capable of executing the instructions causing the relay client to:
• store second verification information corresponding to the relay client;
• manage a password to be used for authentication for using the management screen;
• accept a request including information for displaying a resetting screen of the password to be used for authentication for using the management screen, from the information processing apparatus;
• verify validity of first verification information included in the information included in the accepted request, using the stored second verification information;
• and
• provide the resetting screen for changing the managed password, to the information processing apparatus, when the validity of the first verification information is verified, wherein
• the information for displaying the resetting screen is transmitted from a server that manages data transmitted from the relay client, and
• the information for displaying the resetting screen includes the first verification information corresponding to the relay client.

A method for controlling a system including a relay client that collects data, a server that manages the data transmitted from the relay client, and an information processing apparatus capable of displaying a second management screen provided by the relay client,

• the server performs:
• first storing first verification information corresponding to the relay client;
• performing first authentication for using a first management screen provided by the server;
• and
• transmitting, in response to a request regarding a resetting screen of a password to be used for second authentication for using the second management screen, the request having been performed through the first management screen when the first authentication has succeeded, information for displaying the resetting screen, including the first verification information corresponding to the relay client, and
• the relay client performs:
• second storing second verification information corresponding to the relay client;
• managing the password to be used for second authentication for using the second management screen;
• accepting a request including the information transmitted in the transmitting, from the information processing apparatus;
• verifying validity of the first verification information included in the information included in the request accepted in the accepting, using the second verification information stored in the second storing;
• and
• providing the resetting screen for changing the password managed in the managing, to the information processing apparatus, when the validity of the first verification information is verified in the verifying.

A method for controlling a relay client capable of providing a management screen to an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:

• storing second verification information corresponding to the relay client;
• managing a password to be used for authentication for using the management screen;
• accepting a request including information for displaying a resetting screen of the password to be used for the authentication for using the management screen, from the information processing apparatus;
• verifying validity of first verification information included in the information included in the request accepted in the accepting, using the second verification information stored in the storing;
• and
• providing the resetting screen for changing the password managed by the managing, to the information processing apparatus, when the validity of the first verification information is verified in the verifying, wherein
• the information for displaying the resetting screen is transmitted from a server that manages data transmitted from the relay client, and
• the information for displaying the resetting screen includes the first verification information corresponding to the relay client.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a computer program for making a computer execute operations for controlling a relay client configured to provide a management screen to an information processing apparatus, the operations comprising:

• storing second verification information corresponding to the relay client;
• managing a password to be used for authentication for using the management screen;
• accepting a request including information for displaying a resetting screen of the password to be used for the authentication for using the management screen, from the information processing apparatus;
• verifying validity of first verification information included in the information included in the request accepted in the accepting, using the second verification information stored in the storing;
• and
• providing the resetting screen for changing the password managed by the managing, to the information processing apparatus, when the validity of the first verification information is verified in the verifying, wherein
• the information for displaying the resetting screen is transmitted from a server that manages data transmitted from the relay client, and
• the information for displaying the resetting screen includes the first verification information corresponding to the relay client.
