This gets asked every now and then, and the bottom line is that, even if the password were stored in an encrypted format, it would have to be reversible encryption in order for the password to be used to contact the DB server, so there's very little gain. You should protect your guacamole.properties file properly such that it is only readable by accounts that absolutely need to read it. -Nick
