You probably need upgrade your JDK, we had similar problem on our linux server. We tried different approaches. Nothing seemed to work including installing new JCE.

There is one bug in the JDK about SSL Connection HostnameVerifier that disables SNI extension causing a handshake failure: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/2col/8u141-bugfixes-3720387.html.

We upgraded to the latest jdk 8u162, everything looks good now.
