Abstract
An image forming apparatus controls the use of a remote user interface (RUI) by requesting authentication with an RUI access password from a client device in a case where the RUI access password is set. In a case of a department ID management setting, the security setting is different from the RUI access password setting. In this situation, the image forming apparatus requests authentication with the department ID, and then controls the use of the RUI based on the result of the authentication.
Claims13
An image processing apparatus having a function of providing web contents including at least status information on the image processing apparatus to an external apparatus via a network, the image processing apparatus comprising:
- at least one hardware processor which acts as:
- a setting unit configured to set whether to use a department management function of identifying a department that uses a resource of the image processing apparatus;
- an access control unit configured to control, on a condition at least that the setting unit does not set to use the department management function, access restriction to the web contents using a password to access the web contents, and control, on a condition that the setting unit does not set to use the department management function, the access restriction to the web contents not based on the password but based on information about the department management function;
- and
- a providing unit configured to provide the web contents including at least status information to the external apparatus on a condition at least that the control unit has permitted an access to the web contents.
A method for an image processing apparatus having a function of providing web contents including at least status information on the image processing apparatus to an external apparatus via a network, the method comprising:
- setting whether to use a department management function of identifying a department that uses a resource of the image processing apparatus;
- controlling, on a condition at least that the setting does not set to use the department management function, access restriction to the web contents using a password to access the web contents, and controlling, on a condition that the setting does not set to use the department management function, the access restriction to the web contents not based on the password but based on information about the department management function;
- and
- providing the web contents including at least status information to the external apparatus on a condition at least that the controlling has permitted an access to the web contents.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer executable instructions, which when executed by a computer of an image processing apparatus having a function of providing web contents including at least status information on the image processing apparatus to an external apparatus via a network, cause the image processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
- setting whether to use a department management function of identifying a department that uses a resource of the image processing apparatus;
- controlling, on a condition at least that the setting does not set to use the department management function, access restriction to the web contents using a password to access the web contents, and controlling, on a condition that the setting does not set to use the department management function, the access restriction to the web contents not based on the password but based on information about the department management function;
- and
- providing the web contents including at least status information to the external apparatus on a condition at least that the controlling has permitted an access to the web contents.
An image processing apparatus having a function of providing web contents including at least status information on the image processing apparatus to an external apparatus via a network, the image processing apparatus comprising:
- at least one hardware processor which acts as:
- a setting unit configured to set whether to use a department management function of identifying a department that uses a resource of the image processing apparatus;
- an access control unit configured to control, on a condition at least that the setting unit does not set to use the department management function, access restriction to the web contents using a predetermined password, and control, on a condition that the setting unit sets to use the department management function, the access restriction to the web contents based on a department identification and a password to be used with the department management function;
- and
- a providing unit configured to provide the web contents including at least status information to the external apparatus on a condition at least that the control unit has permitted the access to the web contents.
