Alfresco 5.0 was changed to be built using maven, and because of that, there is no more properties files into folders.
Everything now is shipped inside jars.

You can get those files by looking at the source code into the github project here https://github.com/Alfresco/community-edition

Those files you are looking for are
https://github.com/Alfresco/community-edition/tree/master/projects/repository/config/alfresco/subsystems/Authentication/ldap-ad

Thanks, I had arrived to this conclusion, and found the missing files i needed - after a few hours and many curses-. If I may, the doc still point to the "old ways", and even if it is only the community doc, we depend on it when we work on Alfresco. I'm pretty sure the building change wasn't a sudden choice, it would be nice to have an up-to-date documentation on such a great but complex piece of software….
