Please note that the citrix_receiver package has been deprecated since its development was discontinued by upstream and has been replaced by the citrix workspace app. Citrix Receiver and Citrix Workspace App are a remote desktop viewers which provide access to XenDesktop installations.

The tarball archive needs to be downloaded manually as the license agreements of the vendor for Citrix Receiver or Citrix Workspace need to be accepted first. Then run nix-prefetch-url file://$PWD/linuxx64-$version.tar.gz. With the archive available in the store the package can be built and installed with Nix. It's recommended to install Citrix Receiver and/or Citrix Workspace using nix-env -i or globally to ensure that the .desktop files are installed properly into $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS. Otherwise it won't be possible to open .ica files automatically from the browser to start a Citrix connection.

The Citrix Workspace App in nixpkgs trust several certificates from the Mozilla database by default. However several companies using Citrix might require their own corporate certificate. On distros with imperative packaging these certs can be stored easily in $ICAROOT, however this directory is a store path in nixpkgs. In order to work around this issue the package provides a simple mechanism to add custom certificates without rebuilding the entire package using symlinkJoin: { config.allowUnfree = true; }; let extraCerts = [ ./custom-cert-1.pem ./custom-cert-2.pem /* ... */ ]; in citrix_workspace.override { inherit extraCerts; }]]>
