Abstract
A communication apparatus is provided. The communication apparatus receives first information relating to IEEE 802.1X authentication from an information processing apparatus via a first wireless connection between the communication apparatus and another apparatus, terminates the first wireless connection, executes the IEEE 802.1X authentication based on the first information received in a state in which the first wireless connection is not established, and executes processing to re-establish the first wireless connection on the basis of the IEEE 802.1X authentication failing.
Claims20
A communication apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including at least one program,
