In providing cloud services, biometric security measures specific to a local network are utilized when an internal client terminal logs into the network to access cloud services, and when a remote client terminal connects directly to the cloud services. A cloud service computer references the credential authorization service of the local network, allowing biometric security measures of that network to be applied even when a remote client terminal connects directly to cloud service computer. By referencing the local credential authorization service, it is possible to provide cloud services to different organizations that administer biometric security measures independently of each other.
