Abstract
According to one embodiment, a service management system includes a relay device to relay communications between a client and a server providing a service that comprises one or more microservices. The relay device generates an authentication token, authenticates the authentication token when included in a service request from the client, and issues a command to the server to execute a service requested by the client after the authentication token is successfully authenticated. A token issuing server is provided to communicate with the relay device and the client and includes a storage unit and a processor. The processor is configured to store an access key issued by the relay device in the storage unit, acquire the authentication token from the relay device by using the access key, and send the acquired authentication token to the client in response to a token request from the client.
