I hadnt heard of that file before. Doing a search on the JBoss forums led me to this:

Looks like in the 5.0 beta that the jboss.identify file gets created in the server/xxx/data directory when jboss is run the first time. The contents appear to be a guid, and a jboss.identity system property is also set.
