Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A switching apparatus includes an authentication client unit that requests user authentication to a user authentication server that performs user authentication of the switching apparatus, and, when the requested user authentication is successfully performed, receives from the user authentication server, information of success of the user authentication and setting information used when terminal authentication of a terminal to be connected to the switching apparatus is relayed to a terminal authentication server that performs terminal authentication; an authentication setting unit that sets the setting information to an authentication relay unit that relays terminal authentication; and a control unit that allows the authentication relay unit to relay the terminal authentication when the setting information is set to the authentication relay unit.
