-### - tacacs+ Integration
-
-tacacs+ is an networking protocol that provides external authentication which can be used with AWX. This section describes how to build a reference tacacs+ instance and plumb it with your AWX for testing purposes.
-
-First, be sure that you have the awx.awx collection installed by running `make install_collection`.
-
-Anytime you want to run a tacacs+ instance alongside AWX we can start docker-compose with the TACACS option to get a containerized instance with the command:
-```bash
-TACACS=true make docker-compose
-```
-
-Once the containers come up a new port (49) should be exposed and the tacacs+ server should be running on those ports.
-
-Now we are ready to configure and plumb tacacs+ with AWX. To do this we have provided a playbook which will:
-* Backup and configure the tacacsplus adapter in AWX. NOTE: this will back up your existing settings but the password fields can not be backed up through the API, you need a DB backup to recover this.
-
-```bash
-export CONTROLLER_USERNAME=<your username>
-export CONTROLLER_PASSWORD=<your password>
-ansible-playbook tools/docker-compose/ansible/plumb_tacacs.yml
-```
-
-Once the playbook is done running tacacs+ should now be setup in your development environment. This server has the accounts listed on https://hub.docker.com/r/dchidell/docker-tacacs
