    <description><![CDATA[As part of day to day tasks, one of the major activity for citrix admins is to maintain free VDIs in xendesktop delivery groups.

Import the certificate along with private key and bind it to 443. If you do not have IIS installed in your DDC server, then you should install the certificate on the DDC server and run netsh commands to link that certificate to citrix DDC software.]]></description>
