I am trying to implement custom forms authentication with SSRS 2016.

Within this article, a reference is made to the SQL Server Reporting Service Product Samples.

It appears that the latest supported version on the samples page (with regards to security extensions) is SSRS 2012. I have successfully applied the information gathered on the samples page to a SSRS 2014 instance. However, it looks as though the file system structure has changed a bit for SSRS 2016 (read, there is no longer a ReportManager folder) which seems to invalidate the instructions provided by the samples page.

Does anyone know where I can find updated procedures for establishing custom authentication?

We stumbled upon a thread on the MSDN forums located here. This thread has had quite a bit of activity including responses from the product team.

For anyone having issues with getting a custom security extension to work with SSRS 2016 in the next couple of weeks, please have a look. After that, it is my understanding that all of this information will be included in the documentation when the product is in a RTM state.
