We’re proud to officially announce the launch of Upendo DNN Support, our new subscription-based service for DNN Platform users. This offering has been in the making for some time, and it reflects our ongoing commitment to helping businesses succeed with DNN — with confidence, clarity, and continuity.

And that’s not all...

We’re also excited to announce that the Glanton Modules are coming back next week, fully refreshed, modernized, and ready to power your DNN solutions like never before.


DNN Support — Done Right

If your organization depends on DNN, you’ve likely experienced the challenge of finding timely, expert support when it matters most. That’s exactly why we created Upendo DNN Support.

  • Direct access to DNN experts
  • Fast response times
  • Guaranteed service levels
  • Module support — including both our refreshed Glanton Modules and the open-source extensions available at UpendoDNN.com
  • A flexible escalation path for more complex needs
  • Built-in flexibility for Enterprise customers with access to deeper technical insight, more complex use cases, and strategic guidance

Coming Next Week: The Glanton Modules Return

For years, the Glanton Modules have been essential tools for enterprise DNN environments — especially those requiring robust Active Directory and identity management capabilities. Originally developed by Ian Sampson and Barry Waluzko, these modules earned a strong reputation for reliability and flexibility.

We’ve been working behind the scenes to bring them back — and they’ll be available starting next week.

Here’s what’s included

  • AD-Pro Authentication
    Seamlessly integrates DNN with your Active Directory for secure, configurable single sign-on (SSO).
  • AD-Pro Users Directory
    Displays AD users in a searchable, styled directory for intranet and staff portals.
  • AD-Pro Profile Updater
    Enables users to securely update specific AD profile fields directly from your website.
  • AD-Pro Password Reset
    Allows users to reset their AD passwords through your DNN site — even if they’ve forgotten their current one.
  • AD-Pro Password Expiry
    Alerts users when their password is about to expire and provides a built-in renewal process.
  • AD-Pro Synchronization
    Automatically syncs your DNN user database with Active Directory on your schedule, with custom filtering options.

What’s New?

This isn’t a copy/paste relaunch — we’ve re-engineered these modules to align with today’s best practices and eliminate legacy issues:

  • Telerik dependency removed
  • Licensing engine completely rebuilt (no more Salesforce)
  • Critical bugs resolved
  • Performance improved across the board
  • Support and documentation enhanced

What’s Next?

This launch marks a new chapter for Upendo Ventures and the DNN community. With the introduction of Upendo DNN Support and the return of the Glanton Modules, we’re delivering the tools and peace of mind you’ve been waiting for.

If you have questions or want to talk through which options are best for your team, reach out to us here. We’re here to help.
