Management apparatus, control method therefor, and computer-readable recording medium

A control method for a management apparatus that communicates with a plurality of application apparatuses including a first application apparatus providing a first application and a second application apparatus providing a second application, and that issues and manages first identification information uniquely identifying each of a plurality of users who use the first application and second identification information uniquely identifying each of a plurality of users who use the second application, the control method comprising:

• issuing a first identifier associated with the first identification information of a user, to the first application apparatus;
• receiving, from the second application apparatus, a second identifier after the second identifier is passed from the first application to the second application, and second identification information, among a plurality of pieces of the second identification information for the plurality of users, for a user of the terminal apparatus;
• and
• managing, in association with each other, the first identification information associated with the first identifier and the second identification information in a case in which the first identifier matches the second identifier.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program used in a computer of a management apparatus that communicates with a plurality of application apparatuses including a first application apparatus providing a first application and a second application apparatus providing a second application, and that issues and manages first identification information uniquely identifying each of a plurality of users who use the first application and second identification information uniquely identifying each of a plurality of users who use the second application, the program making the computer of the management apparatus execute:

• an issuing process of issuing a first identifier associated with the first identification information of a user, to the first application apparatus;
• a receiving process of receiving, from the second application apparatus, a second identifier after the second identifier is passed from the first application to the second application, and second identification information, among a plurality of pieces of the second identification information for the plurality of users, for a user of the terminal apparatus;
• and
• a management process of managing, in association with each other, the first identification information associated with the first identifier and the second identification information in a case in which the first identifier issued in the issuing process matches the second identifier received in the receiving process.
