IBM Version 5 manual Generating the Dadx, Next

Tip: Since the group.properties file may contain a user ID and password, it should be stored in a secure file system to prevent unauthorized access. In addition, the password can be stored in an encoded format to add further security. The encoding makes the password look like a long, random string of characters that are hard to memorize. This precaution prevents the password from being exposed to coworkers who might be looking over your shoulder while you edit the file. However, encoding is no substitute for proper file access control since the encoded password can be easily decoded.
