Abstract
Provided is an information processing apparatus capable of calling functions of a plurality of servers without having to perform authentication every time. An authentication-executing unit, in the case where a function requires authentication in one of the plurality of servers, performs authentication with that server. An integrated-arrangement unit arranges in one application instruction areas that acquire instructions for calling the functions to any one of the plurality of the servers, and further, arranges the instruction areas in which a plurality of the functions that are similar and that require authentication by the authentication-executing unit and/or a plurality of the functions that are to be authenticated in the same server are organized as a folder. An authentication-state-changing unit controls the authentication state in correlation with any one of the folder organized by the integrated-arrangement unit, the application, and the function.
