AUTHENTICATION METHOD, AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM, AND SERVICE DELIVERY SERVER
First Claim
1. An authentication method in a system including a client terminal that stores one or more applications, a service delivery server connected with the client terminal through a network and configured to provide the client terminal with a service, and an authentication server connected with the client terminal and the service delivery server and configured to execute authentication processing, the method comprising:
- transmitting, by the client terminal, a signal related to an authentication request to the service delivery server through a browser every time an application is started by an instruction from a user;
issuing, by the service delivery server, session information related to the client terminal when receiving the authentication request from the client terminal, attaching the session information to the authentication request, and returning the authentication request to the client terminal;
transmitting, by the client terminal, the authentication request to which the session information is attached to the authentication server; and
upon receiving the authentication request from the client terminal, executing, by the authentication server, authentication processing in cooperation with the service delivery server based on authentication information of the application of the client terminal, a session of which has been established, and stored in the service delivery server, and user information related to the user stored in the authentication server.

Abstract
A client terminal transmits a signal related to an authentication request to a service delivery server through a browser every time an application is started by an instruction from a user. Upon receiving the authentication request from the client terminal, an authentication server executes authentication processing in cooperation with the service delivery server based on authentication information of an application of the client terminal, a session of which has been established, and stored in the service delivery server, and user information related to the user stored in the authentication server.

14. A service delivery server in a system including a client terminal that stores one or more applications, a service delivery server connected with the client terminal through a network and configured to provide the client terminal with a service, and an authentication server connected with the client terminal and the service delivery server and configured to execute authentication processing, the service delivery server comprising:
-
a server communication unit configured to issue session information related to the client terminal when receiving an authentication request from the client terminal, to attach the session information to the authentication request and to return the authentication request, and to causes the client terminal to transit the authentication request to which the session information is attached to the authentication server; and an authentication control unit configured, upon receiving the authentication request from the client terminal, to execute the authentication processing in cooperation with the authentication server based on authentication information of the application of the client terminal, a session of which has been established, and stored in the service delivery server, and user information related to the user stored in the authentication server.
