A computer system 1 has a PBX 2, a terminal device 3, and a management
server 4. The PBX 2 has a line controller, an extension controller 2b, an
interface, a memory that stores identification information and an
enciphered file, a decoder that decodes the enciphered file, a comparator
that compares the identification information and the enciphered file
decoded by the decoder, and a controller. The terminal device 3 reads the
identification information from the PBX 2 and transmits that to the
management server 4. The management server 4 has an authenticator that
receives a request for authentication when the terminal device 3 logs in,
an issuer that issues the enciphered file according to the identification
information, and a database that stores the issue date in correlating
with the identification information.
