Hi
PFB code

HttpService.setSslSecurityProtocol( SSLSecurityProtocol.TLSv1_2 );

     ServiceArgs serviceArgs = new ServiceArgs();
     serviceArgs.setHost("mycompanyserver.com");
     serviceArgs.setPort(8089);
     serviceArgs.setUsername("myuser");
     serviceArgs.setPassword("mypasword");


     // Create a Service instance and log in with the argument map
     Service service = Service.connect(serviceArgs);  // throwing error here 

     System.out.println(service.getToken().toString());
     for (Application app : service.getApplications().values()) {
         System.out.println(app.getName());
     }
