Abstract

Even if a user ID of a target user is not stored in a cooperation destination Web site, it is possible to access the cooperation destination Web site by use of a user ID of a cooperation source Web site. According to a typical embodiment, a cooperation source application calls up a log-in API of a cooperation destination Web server, based on information including the user ID. The log-in API records the information including the user ID as redirect information, creates a redirect token, and adds the redirect token to a URL of a guide application to send the URL. Based on the sent URL, the cooperation source application redirects access to the guide application. When the redirect information identified by the redirect token included in the URL is recorded, the guide application creates a log-in cookie based on the user ID included in the redirect information, and redirects the access to a cooperation destination application.
