unknown command during SSH script

[mhuels]

by testing a ssh skript i get an "unknown command" error from the CLI

user@host:~/> cat reset.sh 
ssh -t -t fw.domain.de << EOF
set cli pager off
show user ip-user-mapping all type CP
debug user-id reset captive-portal ip-address 1.2.3.4 
quit
EOF

user@host:~/> ./reset.sh 
Last login: Fri Jun  2 23:05:16 2023 from 10.10.10.11
set cli pager off
show user ip-user-mapping all type CP
debug user-id reset captive-portal ip-address 1.2.3.4 
quit

user@fw(active)> set cli pager off
user@fw(active)> show user ip-user-mapping all type CP

Unknown command: debug
user@fw(active)> quit
Connection to fw.domain.de closed.

i tried several ssh operational variants and of course the command

debug user-id reset captive-portal ip-address 1.2.3.4

is working well on a normal ssh CLI

What goes wrong here? Why has the firewall such a weird CLI-Behaviour?

The error message "unknown command" is confusing! The cause was insufficient rights (read-only superuser) of the user. Thank you for the helpful hint, Bechtle support!
