This file by default located in $FND_TOP/secure directory also called as $FND_SECURE directory DBC file is quite important as whenever Java or any other program like forms want to connect to database it uses dbc file.

When a User first Enters his credentials in EBS application the request first goes to Web server and then the request is forwarded to the database with the help of Guest user and password in the dbc file after which it checks for the user authentication in the database through DBA_USERS & FND_USERS Once this is done the response is send to user through Form Server & Web Server
