SSLHandshakeException с использованием HttpsURLConnection в Android

Подробности о моем приложении:

compileSdkVersion 22
    buildToolsVersion '22.0.1'



    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "My application id"
        minSdkVersion 13
        targetSdkVersion 22
        versionCode 4
        versionName "2"
    }

Я использую HttpsURLConnection для аутентификации при входе. Но теперь я сталкиваюсь с javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: javax.net.ssl.SSLProtocolException, что также на устройствах, работающих под Android lollipop. Аутентификация работает как ожидается на устройствах с ОС версии выше 5. Пожалуйста, дайте мне знать ваши предложения по этой проблеме.

Вот код, который я использую:

    HttpsURLConnection conn = null;
    try {
        URL url = new URL("URL to my application");

        String authStr = username + ":" + password;

        String authEncoded = Base64.encodeToString(authStr.getBytes(), Base64.NO_WRAP);
        conn = (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
        conn.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic " + authEncoded);
        conn.setDoOutput(true);

        conn.setConnectTimeout(120000);
        int code = conn.getResponseCode();

        if(code ==200){
            for(int i=0;i<conn.getHeaderFields().size();i++){
                String value = conn.getHeaderField(i);

                HeaderElement headerElement =  BasicHeaderValueParser.parseHeaderElement(value, new BasicHeaderValueParser());

                if(headerElement.getName().equals("SMSESSION")){

                    cookieString = SMSESSION+"="+headerElement.getValue();
                    Log.d("validhdvaluelogin",cookieString);
                    cookieeditor.putString(ArticleListActivity.CURRENT_COOKIE,
                            cookieString);
                    cookieeditor.apply();

                    return true;
                }


            }
        }else {
            return false;
        }



    }

    catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return false;
    }


    if (conn != null) {
        conn.disconnect();
    }

    return false;

И вот исключение:
