Thank you Mr. Huber.

Could you be a little more detailed in your explanation as I might not be able to get into it completely without it.
You could set a user attribute called something like :
"has.signed.nda"

Well, you can read and set user properties on a JahiaUser by using the getProperty/setProperty methods. So in effect you can use something like this :

        jData.params().getUser().setProperty("has.signed.nda", "true");

and read the value using :

        String hasSignedNdaValue = jData.params().getUser().getProperty("has.signed.nda");

How do I set a user attribute? Will it be in the DB? if thats the case how do i store it there, which table and later how can i access it?

Yes it will be stored in the DB.

You could also look into the Event listener mechanism if you need to trigger code when the user logs in.

WIll I need to modify this?

It really depends when you need to check the value. Be careful of eventual issues with HTML caching if you put the code in a template.

Please reply soon as I have to make this happen before Tuesday and we are going live then.

Hope it was soon enough :)

Regards,
  Serge Huber.
