Next, user authentication processing will be described with reference to FIGS.
When a user uses the user interface processing means 106 to output an information linkage diagram, or to register, update, or delete each data stored in the storage means 100, the information linkage diagram is created first. The user authentication processing unit 107 of the system 10 is used to authenticate whether the user is a regular user of the information linkage diagram creation system 10.
The user connects the display 205, keyboard 206, mouse 207, and the like connected via the input / output control unit 203 of the information linkage diagram creation computer 200 to an input / output terminal, a network such as the Internet, and other communication media. The information linkage diagram creation system 10 is accessed using a computer terminal. Upon receiving access from the user, the information linkage diagram creation system 10 activates the user authentication processing means 107 and displays a screen for authenticating the user who has accessed the information linkage diagram creation system 10 as shown in FIG. To do. In the screen of FIG. 21, when the user inputs his / her user identifier and password (2201, 2202 in the figure) and presses the button 2203 “Login”, the user authentication processing unit 107 displays the input user identifier and password.

  Upon receiving the user identifier and password input by the user from the screen of FIG. 22, the user authentication processing means 107 authenticates the user according to the processing flow shown in FIG. First, in step 2301 in the figure, the user identifier and password received from the screen in FIG. 22 are fetched. In step 2302, the user identifier fetched in step 2301 is checked against the user master 117 stored in the storage unit 100 to check whether the user identifier is registered in the user master 117. If the record including the user identifier exists in the user master 117, the process proceeds to step 2310. If the record does not exist, the process proceeds to step 2330, an error code is returned, and the process ends. In step 2310, it is checked whether or not the password received in step 2301 is the same as the password of the record of the user identifier registered in the user master 117. If the password is the same, the process proceeds to step 2320 to return the OK code and finish the process. If they are different, the process proceeds to step 2330, an error code is returned, and the process is terminated. When the user stops access to the information linkage diagram creation system 10 on the screen of FIG. 22, a button 2304 “Cancel” may be pressed.

  If the user authentication processing means 107 returns an OK code in the process of FIG. 23, the user who has accessed the information linkage diagram creation system 10 is authenticated as a regular user, and the information linkage diagram creation system 10 Activates the user interface processing means 106. When the user authentication processing unit 107 returns an error code, the user's access to the information linkage diagram creation system 10 is interrupted, or the process of the user authentication processing unit 107 is re-executed to redisplay the screen of FIG. The user can be requested to input the user identifier and password again.

  In the present embodiment, the processing contents of application systems mounted and connected on a computer or on a network other than the information linkage diagram creation system 10 are not targeted.
