    摘要: The information processing apparatus includes an authentication processing management section that requests an external authentication apparatus to authenticate a user who makes a processing request to the information processing apparatus and that acquires an authentication result therefrom; an authentication history management section that manages authentication history information including the authentication result of the authentication of the user, which is acquired by the authentication processing management section; a power switching section that switches a power state of the information processing apparatus; and a power control section. The power control section controls switching of a power state by the power switching section before the authentication processing management portion acquires a latest authentication result from the external authentication apparatus by referring to authentication history information registered in an authentication history table of the user, when a processing request is received from the user in a first power state.
