Information processing system

An information processing system connected to an external user terminal by way of a wide area network, wherein the system controls an access right of an external user who uses the external user terminal to input information and login, the system comprising:

• an external connection unit executing a first program that receives a login request of the external user and for executing a second program that issues a job request corresponding to a service that is to be provided to the external user, wherein a process ID is assigned to the first program;
• an external verification unit comparing the input information of the login request with external user verification information, which is registered beforehand in the external verification unit, to verify the external user, wherein the external verification unit stores the verified external user verification information and the process ID of the first program in association with each other;
• and
• a job performing unit receiving the job request and the external user verification information, determining whether an account of a local network that is associated with the received external user verification information is found, and executing a third program that performs a job, which is requested in accordance with the account of the local network associated with the received external user verification information.

An information processing system connected to an external user terminal by way of a wide area network, wherein the system controls an access right of an external user who uses the external user terminal to input information and login, the system comprising:

• an external connection unit executing a first program that receives a login request of the external user and a second program for issuing a job request corresponding to a service that is to be provided to the external user, wherein a process ID is assigned to the first program;
• an external verification unit comparing the input information of the login request with external user verification information, which is registered beforehand in the external verification unit, to verify the external user, wherein the external verification unit includes a process/user corresponding file for storing the verified external user verification information and the process ID of the first program in association with each other;
• and
• a job performing unit including a user definition file in which the external user verification information and an account of a local network are previously defined in association with each other, wherein the job performing unit receives the job request and the external user verification information, determines whether the account of the local network associated with the received external user verification information is defined in the user definition file, and performs a requested job in accordance with the account of the local network associated with the received external user verification information in response to the job request.
