Hello people,

A client would like centralized authentication via TACACS, and apparently they are using two separate TACACS hosts.

Is there a way AWX could be configured to use both when searching for user? Something like: if the primary host returns no user, try secondary?

Thank you!

Just an update on this. We were unable to find a solution for the issue, and decided to put a load balancer in front of primary and secondary TACACS server to ensure HA.
