# What's New in ALM 15.00

This section provides an overview of the features that were introduced or enhanced in ALM 15.00.

SSO Authentication | SSO access to ALM can be authorized in a federated environment. Users can use single sign-on for logging into ALM as they do with other SSO applications at the site. For details on how to facilitate single sign-on, see Setting up SSO Authentication (for ALM 15.00). If you use Siteminder for user authentication, we recommend you switch to use the SSO authentication solution.
Web Runner | Web Runner is a manual test execution tool. It enables you to run manual tests and submit defects to ALM from a Web browser, without the need to download the ALM client. After you complete your test runs, the test results along with any submitted defects are automatically synchronized to ALM. For details, see Web Runner help.

For details on how to install and manage licenses in APLS, see Managing AutoPass License Server.
