Communication control system, communication control apparatus, and communication control method

A communication control apparatus, comprising circuitry to:

• accept confirmation of attendance according to an operation of an attendee to an information processing apparatus located at a conference room,
• generate a random number in case of accepting the confirmation of attendance,
• store connection authentication information based on the random number in a memory, the connection authentication information being used for authenticating exchange of information with a terminal held by the attendee at the conference,
• transfer an output command for printing an image having the generated random number to an image forming apparatus,
• receive authentication information input by the terminal based on the random number via wireless communication at the conference room, and
• authenticate the exchange of information with the terminal based on the connection authentication information stored in the memory.
