7. A system that manages a virtualization infrastructure in which a physical resource for processing information is virtualized, the system comprising:
-
a management device including a first processor and a first memory coupled to the first processor; and an authentication device including a second processor and a second memory coupled to the second processor, wherein the first processor of the management device is configured to; upon accepting a request for processing related to a virtual system constructed in the virtualization infrastructure, from a user who uses the virtualization infrastructure, request, before performing the processing, the authentication device to perform an authorization process in which it is determined whether or not to authorize the user to use the virtualization infrastructure, and with regard to the request for the authorization process, providing, to the authentication device, notification of processing identification information for identifying the processing from which the authorization process arises and user identification information for identifying the user, the second processor of the authentication device is configured to; upon accepting a request for the authorization process from the management device, perform the authorization process, based on authorization information having a term of validity for determining whether or not to authorize the user to use the virtualization infrastructure, store a history of processing requested by the user by storing, in association with each other, the processing identification information and the user identification information provided, estimate, based on the history, a time period taken until, when specific processing is requested by the user, an authorization process arising from subsequent processing following the specific processing is requested, and update a term of validity of the authorization information having the term of validity based on the time period when the user is authorized in the authorization process arising from the specific processing. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An authentication device comprising:
-
a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to; upon accepting a request for an authorization process in which it is determined whether or not to authorize a user to use a virtualization infrastructure, perform the authorization process, based on authorization information having a term of validity for determining whether or not to authorize the user to use the virtualization infrastructure, store a history of processing requested by the user by storing, in association with each other, processing identification information for identifying processing from which the authorization process arises and user identification information provided with regard to the request for the authorization process, estimate, based on the history, a time period taken until, when specific processing is requested by the user, an authorization process arising from subsequent processing following the specific processing is requested, and update a term of validity of the authorization information having the term of validity based on the time period when the user is authorized in the authorization process arising from the specific processing.
