Whay am I getting a Handshake_failure with JavaSDK when the scheme is TLS?

I have a java application that uses SplunkSDK to connect to the splunk server over https. Recently the SSL was changed to TLS and since them I get the following exception
java.lang.RuntimeException: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure
at com.splunk.HttpService.send(HttpService.java:345)
at com.splunk.Service.send(Service.java:1268)
at com.splunk.HttpService.post(HttpService.java:243)
at com.splunk.Service.login(Service.java:1099)

Following is how I login to Splunk. What should the loginArgs.setScheme be set to now that we are using TLS? I couldn't find any documentation with Valid scheme names.
ServiceArgs loginArgs = new ServiceArgs();
loginArgs.setUsername(userName);
loginArgs.setPassword(passWord);
loginArgs.setHost(host);
loginArgs.setPort(Integer.parseInt(portNumber));
loginArgs.setScheme("https");

I was able to fix my errors by updating the splunk jar file to use TLS protocol.
