First Claim
1. A management apparatus that causes a control unit to execute first management software for managing a plurality of devices on a network, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the management apparatus to;
store, in a first storing unit, authentication information to be used to access a device using a function of the first management software;
store, in a second storing unit, authentication information to be used to access the device using a function of second management software that is added to the first management software to add a new function;
register the device to be managed by the second management software; and
set the authentication information to be used to access the device using the function of the second management software,wherein when the authentication information is set, the set authentication information is stored as the information to be used to access the registered device, andwherein when the authentication information is not set, and the authentication information to be used to access the registered device is stored, the authentication information is stored as the information to be used to access the registered device.

9. A management method of a management apparatus that causes a control unit to execute first management software for managing a plurality of devices on a network, the management apparatus including a first storing unit configured to store authentication information to be used to access a device using a function of the first management software, and a second storing unit configured to store authentication information to be used to access the device using a function of second management software that is added to the first management software to add a new function, comprising:
-
registering the device to be managed by the second management software; and setting, in a second setting step, the authentication information to be used to access the device using the function of the second management software, wherein when the authentication information is set in the second setting step, the second storing unit stores the set authentication information as the information to be used to access the registered device, and wherein when the authentication information is not set in the second setting step, and the first storing unit stores the authentication information to be used to access the registered device, the second storing unit stores the authentication information stored in the first storing unit as the information to be used to access the registered device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer-readable medium storing a program to be executed by a computer to add a new function to management software for managing a plurality of devices on a network, the computer including a first storing unit configured to store authentication information to be used to access a device using a function of the management software, and a second storing unit configured to store authentication information to be used to access the device using the function of the program added to the management software, wherein the program causes the computer to execute a method comprising:
-
registering the device to be managed by the program; and setting the authentication information to be used to access the device using the function of the program, wherein when the authentication information is set in the setting step, the second storing unit stores the set authentication information as the information to be used to access the registered device, and wherein when the authentication information is not set in the setting step, and the first storing unit stores the authentication information to be used to access the registered device, the second storing unit stores the authentication information stored in the first storing unit as the information to be used to access the registered device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
