Since NixOS#44522 it's possible to specify custom certificates for the Citrix receiver. As it took me some time to create a proper setup Citrix can behave fairly unexpected. I mostly covered two aspects: * Don't install Citrix with `nix run`: when `citrix.desktop` is linked to $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS, it's possible to start a session directly from the browser when loading `.ica` files which makes the usage *way* easier. * It's possible to add custom certificates using the Citrix wrapper. A new store path with the original derivation and the certificates will be created and therefore no rebuild of the package is needed when adding new certs.
