and a memory storing computer-executable instructions that cause the circuitry to execute communicating with an information processing system via a network to receive, from the information processing system, information relating to a setting; changing a setting of a web browser according to the received information relating to the setting; and displaying, by using the web browser, a screen for receiving an operation, upon connecting to an external server according to the received information relating to the setting. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An information processing apparatus comprising: circuitry; and a memory storing computer-executable instructions that cause the circuitry to execute: communicating with an information processing system via a network to receive, from the information processing system, information relating to a setting; changing a setting of a web browser according to the received information relating to the setting; and displaying, by using the web browser, a screen for receiving an operation, upon connecting to an external server according to the received information relating to the setting. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the information relating to the setting is an authentication method, and the changing includes changing the setting of the web browser according to the received authentication method. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the changing includes changing the setting of the web browser in response to determining that the received authentication method is a method of using the external server. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The information processing apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the communicating includes receiving a type of the external server together with the authentication method, and the changing includes changing the setting of the web browser in response to determining that the received authentication method is the method of using the external server, and the information processing apparatus includes a setting of changing the setting of the web browser for the received type of the external server. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the changing of the setting of the web browser includes changing a setting of storing data in the web browser from OFF to ON. ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein in response to determining that the received authentication method is e-mail address and password; tenant ID, user ID, and password; integrated circuit (IC) card; or Personal Identification Number (PIN), the displaying includes displaying a login screen according to the authentication method. ### Claim 7 (depends on 2) The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the circuitry is further caused to execute: operating an authentication application for performing authentication in the information processing apparatus, calling, by the authentication application, the web browser in response to determining that the received authentication method is a method of using the external server, and displaying a combined screen created by combining a screen relating to the authentication rendered by the web browser with a screen rendered by the authentication application. ### Claim 8 A display method performed by an information processing apparatus, the display method comprising: communicating with an information processing system via a network to receive, from the information processing system, information relating to a setting; changing a setting of a web browser according to the received information relating to the setting; and displaying, by using the web browser, a screen for receiving an operation, upon connecting to an external server according to the received information relating to the setting. ### Claim 9 A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute a process performed in an information processing apparatus, the process comprising: communicating with an information processing system via a network to receive, from the information processing system, information relating to a setting; changing a setting of a web browser according to the received information relating to the setting; and displaying, by using the web browser, a screen for receiving an operation, upon connecting to an external server according to the received information relating to the setting.
