This *is* working. The client has identified that your self-signed CA
certificate is the authority for the dynamically created certificate. It
just does not trust you, the "self" who signed it.

The step beyond this is to get the client end-point to trust your
self-signed CA certificate. Be careful here. Do this only for clients
where it is actually legal to make trust your sertificate.

Do not forget that what you are doing is a clear and blatant attack on
both the client and web server security systems. There *are* things
which thay can (and some do already) to prevent you succeeding.

I suggest you also investigate the reason why VeriSign and other widely
trusted CA refuse to counter-sign your self-signed CA certificate. That
is behind what Alex said about using the VeriSign certificate.
