I have spring-boot Tomcat server for secure websocket connections. The server accepts Android 4.4, iOS, Firefox, and Chrome clients without failure with an authority-signed certificate. Android 5.0, however, fails the SSL handshake.

I think the problem is with TLS or the cipher suites due to changes in Android 5.0 Lollipop, and not with the certificates because the other clients connect, but I cannot figure out how to tell what is happening on the client side of the connection because SSL debugging does not appear to be supported on Android. The problem is likely very similar to this one, which is also not resolved yet but suggests the problem is with cipher suites. The Android bugs 88313 81603 developer-preview-1989 seem to indicate the Android implementation is correct but server configuration or implementation of cipher suites may not be.
I have set the following server cipher suites
server.ssl.ciphers = TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
In particular, the TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA is on the list of supported protocols for Android for API 11+.
I verified the server supports this
openssl s_client -connect server:port
which returns
SSL-Session:
Protocol : TLSv1.2
Cipher : ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA
There is a slight mismatch in names between openssl and java, but the openssl documentation says these are the same cipher suite.
My server supports and negotiates first a cipher suite with the openssl client that is compatible with Android 5.0. I expect Android 5.0 to connect without issue, but it fails.
Has anyone successfully connected Android 5.0 secure websocket connections to Tomcat? Are there cipher suites that are known to work? Is there a way to debug the Android client side SSL implementation?
UPDATE
Network trace results:
SYN -->
<-- SYN, ACK
ACK -->
<-- Data
ACK -->
<-- certificates, SSL/TLS params? 1
<-- 2
<-- 3
<-- 4
ACK -->
ACK -->
ACK -->
FIN(!), ACK -->
When the Android 5.0 device (a Nexus 5) receives the server certificate information sent in 4-5 packets, it responds with a variable number (2-4) ACKs then a FIN, ACK. In the successful trace, the client does not send a FIN. The Android 5 client does not like something it gets from the server.
For the failure, the server SSL debugging info says:
http-nio-8080-exec-10, called closeOutbound()
http-nio-8080-exec-10, closeOutboundInternal()
http-nio-8080-exec-10, SEND TLSv1.2 ALERT: warning, description = close_notify
http-nio-8080-exec-10, WRITE: TLSv1.2 Alert, length = 2
[Raw write]: length = 7
0000: 15 03 03 00 02 01 00
