Name	Permissions	Description
Locationfile	Read-write	Name of the location file, with or without absolute path. If the path is not included, the default path (/var/netscaler/locdb) is assumed. In a high availability setup, the static database must be stored in the same location on both Citrix ADCs. Minimum length = 1
format	Read-write	Format of the location file. Required for the Citrix ADC to identify how to read the location file. Default value: netscaler Possible values = netscaler, ip-country, ip-country-isp, ip-country-region-city, ip-country-region-city-isp, geoip-country, geoip-region, geoip-city, geoip-country-org, geoip-country-isp, geoip-city-isp-org
src	Read-write	URL (protocol, host, path, and file name) from where the location file will be imported. NOTE: The import fails if the object to be imported is on an HTTPS server that requires client certificate authentication for access. Minimum length = 1 Maximum length = 2047

Some options that you can use for each operations:

Getting warnings in response: NITRO allows you to get warnings in an operation by specifying the 'warning' query parameter as 'yes'. For example, to get warnings while connecting to the NetScaler appliance, the URL is as follows:

http:// <netscaler-ip-address> /nitro/v1/config/login?warning=yes

If any, the warnings are displayed in the response payload with the HTTP code '209 X-NITRO-WARNING'.
Authenticated access for individual NITRO operations: NITRO allows you to logon to the NetScaler appliance to perform individual operations. You can use this option instead of creating a NITRO session (using the login object) and then using that session to perform all operations,

To do this, you must specify the username and password in the request header of the NITRO request as follows:

X-NITRO-USER: <username>

X-NITRO-PASS: <password>

Note: In such cases, make sure that the request header DOES not include the following:

Cookie:NITRO_AUTH_TOKEN= <tokenvalue>

*Note:*

Mandatory parameters are marked in red and placeholder content is marked in green
