Access management server, method thereof, and program recording medium
First Claim
1. An access management server to limit access to a second computer from a first computer, comprising:
- a request information generation means for allowing the first computer to execute a first program and to generate execution request information for a second program stored in the second computer;
a program authentication means for determining whether or not to enable access to the second computer from the first computer based on the execution request information and program authentication information indicative of an ID of the first program access-permitted for each ID of the second program; and
an execution means for allowing the second computer to execute a second program when the program authentication means produces an authentication result to be access-permitted.

Abstract
According to the prior art, it has been impossible for each program vendor to permit only specific alliance partners to use extended programs having high value-added functions.
An access management server according to an embodiment of the present invention limits access from a first computer to a second computer. There is provided a program ID specification section which allows the first computer to execute a first program to specify an ID of the first program and an ID of a second program based on execution request information for the second program stored in the second computer. Further, there is provided an execution means for allowing the second computer to execute the second program when a program authentication, as a result, permits an access from the first computer to the second computer based on an ID of the first program, an ID of the second program, and program authentication information indicative of an ID of the first program access-permitted for each ID of the second program. The program authentication is provided to limit whether or not to enable access from the first computer to the second computer.
