It's a bit hard on our end to diagnose what's going wrong with your setup. The "Connection timed out" error indicates one of a couple of things.
1. The URL to the iControl endpoint is not valid.
2. The URL to the iControl endpoint is not routable.
3. The java setup on your Linux box doesn't have all the SSL (jsse) code required for the SSL connection.
I'd start by printing out the full URL that you are connecting to (ie. https://x.x.x.x/iControl/iControlPortal.cgi). Then try to test connectivity from the new machine (with a browser, curl, wget, ...).
If you can connect to the endpoint with means outside of java, then odds are it's a jsse issue. I really don't think so as the connect timed out error almost always indicates an issue with the connection string or routing from the client to the BIG-IP.
