Are you trying to configure the NLS on the DirectAccess server itself? If so, choosing a self-signed certificate typically just works. Not sure what would be causing that to fail to be honest.
Best practice is to use an external NLS that's not hosted on the DirectAccess server. If you can't get the self-signed certificate to work you might consider setting up a separate NLS just to get things moving.

I'll probably try to setup another virtual server to run NLS on its own to see if that works.
Thanks!
