Can you please try this? It is working for me.

import com.splunk.*;

public class App {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        HttpService.setSslSecurityProtocol(SSLSecurityProtocol.TLSv1_2);

        // Create a map of arguments and add login parameters
        ServiceArgs loginArgs = new ServiceArgs();
        loginArgs.setUsername("admin");
        loginArgs.setPassword("admin123");
        loginArgs.setHost("localhost");
        loginArgs.setPort(8089);

        // Create a Service instance and log in with the argument map
        Service service = Service.connect(loginArgs);

        for (User user : service.getUsers().values())
            System.out.println(user.getName());

    }
}

 

Thanks

You can try and set a different SSL protocol, the default protocol in Java is not suitable for connection with Splunk:

HttpService.setSslSecurityProtocol(SSLSecurityProtocol.TLSv1_2);

 

Edit:

Example code - just add the line somewhere that Java will execute it first before Service connection:

HttpService.setSslSecurityProtocol(SSLSecurityProtocol.TLSv1_2);
ServiceArgs loginArgs = new ServiceArgs();
loginArgs.setUsername(user);
loginArgs.setPassword(password);
loginArgs.setHost(host);
loginArgs.setPort(port);

In your case it seems that the connection has been closed by the server end of the connection. This could be an issue with the request you are sending or an issue at their end.

Can you please share you sample code to reproduce the same issue?

@kamlesh_vaghela 

ServiceArgs loginArgs = new ServiceArgs();
loginArgs.setUsername("uname");
loginArgs.setPassword("xx");
loginArgs.setHost("myhost");
loginArgs.setPort(8089);

// Create a Service instance and log in with the argument map
Service service = Service.connect(serviceArgs);
for (User user : service.getUsers().values())
System.out.println(user.getName());
