Hello Simone, The identity of a target is provided by a service called Identification, the API can be found in org.apache.ace.identification.api and we provide a default implementation that is indeed based on a property. You can just write your own implementation though.
The next step to take is to make sure that your new implementation is actually used in the management agent. The management agent in ACE actually consists of a couple of bundles working together. However, to make it easier to work with, we created a bundle called "management agent" which is actually an assembly of those bundles. We literally instantiate the bundle activators of the other bundles from that one, and invoke start/stop on them. So to "bake" your new bundle into that one, you need to make a change there too.
