Please this code from me where I did exactly this:
https://github.com/cybercatalyst/qtwebserver/blob/master/tcp/tcpmultithreadedserver.cpp#L141
void MultithreadedServer::setDefaultSslConfiguration() {
// Set a default SSL configuration just to have it running out of the
// box. Only for development purposes, never distribute an application
// that relies on SSL with the default configuration set. You can
// generate your own key and self-signed certificate:
//
// $ openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout server.key -nodes -days 365 -out server.crt
QSslConfiguration sslConfiguration;
