10. A method for controlling an information processing apparatus, comprising:
a first acquisition step of acquiring first setting information including at least one piece of information indicating a proxy server setting method enabled in the information processing apparatus;
a second acquisition step of acquiring second setting information including at least one piece of information indicating a proxy server setting method supported by an external apparatus;
a determination step of determining whether or not there is a same setting method in the first setting information and the second setting information; and
a transmission step of transmitting, in a case where it is determined in the determination step there is the same setting method, all information indicating the same setting method to the external apparatus,
wherein if it is determined there is no same setting method, it is further determined whether or not the proxy server setting method enabled in the information processing apparatus, which is included in the first setting information, can be converted to any one of the second setting information supported by the external apparatus, and
if it is determined that conversion is possible, information obtained by converting the first setting information to the second setting information is transmitted to the external apparatus.
