On PAM environment were fixing issues with SSL certificate.  We stopped the cluster and uploaded this year certificates into the node. After the certificated are activated 2 of the node connectivity is failing.

Out of 3 servers xxx.xxx.com  is working able to connect. Start and stop of cluster is working.

 xxx.xxx.com   not able to connect.

PAM Client is gives  below error.
