I would recommend that you configure IHS to support *multiple* cipher
suites instead of just the one. I would also recommend using GCM mode
instead of CBC mode if you can do so.

The output of the above command has absolutely nothing to do with the
cipher suites Java supports. In order to determine what Java supports,
you must use a Java-based tool.

(Unless you are using APR, but you are clearly using Java BIO.)

Glad you got it done but it's clear there is still some confusion.
