Relay device, relay method, and non-transitory computer readable medium

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

• acquiring, from a user, user identification information that allows a relay device to identify the user;
• acquiring privilege information from a service providing device which provides a service to a client device used by the user, the privilege information indicating that access to the service providing device is authorized;
• storing the acquired user identification information and the acquired privilege information in association with each other;
• in response to receiving a service processing request made to the service providing device, the service processing request being transmitted together with the user identification information from the client device, controlling the service providing device to perform communication processing corresponding to the service processing request using the privilege information stored in association with the user identification information;
• in response to receiving from a communication device different from the client device an access request made to the service providing device, transferring the access request to the service providing device,
• wherein the acquired privilege information is issued by the service providing device in accordance with the access request transferred after login authentication of the user has been performed, and
• wherein the controlling the service providing device to perform communication processing corresponding to the service processing request further comprises converting a language interpretable by the client device used by the user into an intermediate language and converting the intermediate language into a language interpretable by the service providing device.

A relay method comprising:

• acquiring, from a user, user identification information that allows a relay device to identify the user;
• acquiring privilege information from a service providing device which provides a service to a client device used by the user, the privilege information indicating that access to the service providing device is authorized;
• storing the acquired user identification information and the acquired privilege information in association with each other;
• in response to receiving a service processing request made to the service providing device, the service processing request being transmitted together with the user identification information from the client device, controlling the service providing device to perform communication processing corresponding to the service processing request using the privilege information stored in association with the user identification information;
• and
• in response to receiving from a communication device different from the client device an access request made to the service providing device, transferring the access request to the service providing device,
• wherein the acquired privilege information is issued by the service providing device in accordance with the access request transferred after login authentication of the user has been performed, and
• wherein the controlling the service providing device to perform communication processing corresponding to the service processing request further comprises converting a language interpretable by the client device used by the user into an intermediate language and converting the intermediate language into a language interpretable by the service providing device.
