+    <link xlink:href="https://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html">from the Mozilla database</link> by default.
+    However several companies using Citrix might require their own corporate certificate. On distros with imperative

+    <link xlink:href="https://developer-docs.citrix.com/projects/receiver-for-linux-command-reference/en/13.7/"><literal>$ICAROOT</literal></link>,
+    however this directory is a store path in <literal>nixpkgs</literal>. In order to work around this issue the package provides a simple
+    mechanism to add custom certificates without rebuilding the entire package using <literal>symlinkJoin</literal>:
