NRPE Could not complete SSL handshake - Peer did not return a ceritificate

I am getting SSL Handshake errors with NRPE after enabling SSL. It worked perfectly fine without SSL doing check_nrpe. The allowed host is correct and when run without SSL enabled it shows the proper version. Both are running 4.3 on CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core) I did not compile NRPE or nagios from source I installed via Yum. Here are the configs I feel are important to this issue. here is the error I'm getting logged... It says wrong version but both are running same version of NRPE. I am using a real purchased wildcard cert... Same cert on both sides. Cert matches the domain name of the server. nrpe --version NRPE - Nagios Remote Plugin Executor Version: 4.0.3 Same version on both for openssl openssl version OpenSSL 1.0.2k-fips 26 Jan 2017 When I run ./check_nrpe -H hostname.domain.com I get CHECK_NRPE: (ssl_err != 5) Error - Could not complete SSL handshake with 10.1.1.125: 1 On the other server it logs: Jan 5 12:48:54 nagiostest2 nrpe: Error: (ERR_get_error_line_data = 336130315), Could not complete SSL handshake with 10.1.1.64: wrong version number Jan 5 12:51:11 nagiostest2 nrpe: CONN_CHECK_PEER: checking if host is allowed: 10.1.1.64 port 16075 Jan 5 12:51:11 nagiostest2 nrpe: is_an_allowed_host (AF_INET): is host >10.1.1.6410.1.1.6410.1.1.6410.1.1.64< Jan 5 12:51:11 nagiostest2 nrpe: is_an_allowed_host (AF_INET): host is in allowed host list!
