Oh. I'm absolutely including a private CA as part of self signed cert. That's probably my misuse of the term

Oh! Then you are doing it right. That was basically my entire objection - having A chain of trust is necessary to effectively and securely use certs because you have a mechanism to validate, rather than trust the cert that is presented as authentic. :)
