Versions prior to 5.5 did not encrypt the user passwords upon export. These passwords appear in plain text within the files of the export catalog. For backwards compatibility, unencrypted catalogs are still supported and can be imported into a 5.5 server, even when an encryption key is configured.
Passwords that are encrypted by an export operation in JasperReports Server 5.5 or later have encryption markers, so older passwords without the markers can be detected and imported as plain text. Once plain-text passwords are imported, they are stored internally with encryption, and will be encrypted in any future export.
