Upload the Citrix certificate.
The openthinclient OS already includes several certificates from well-known certification authorities. However, if a certificate error still occurs AM_ERROR_HTTP_SERVER_CERTIFICATE_NOT_TRUSTED or if you operate your own CA, upload the corresponding CA certificate to the directory. <openthinclient-home>/nfs/root/custom/ica-ssl-certs .
Select the Custom Folder menu item. Open the SSL Certificates for Citrix bookmark at the top and use the Upload button
