Design Options for Property Files

Dear all,

Hello and Good Morning. I have a properties file in a specific directory in UNIX that can be accessed by certain users. This properties file is being used by a number of backend programs. The properties file contain the username and the password of the database as well. How do I design or create a more secure environment for this file? Is there a way to not show the existence of this physical file to the users, only with a certain command than the file is visible for editing purposes or are there other methods of securing this?

Thank you.
