Description:
MySQL Enterprise Firewall has two installation scripts:
linux_install_firewall.sql
win_install_firewall.sql

Both define stored procedures using double quote characters to quote strings. Example:

IF arg_mode = "RECORDING" THEN
  SELECT read_firewall_whitelist(arg_userhost,FW.rule) FROM mysql.firewall_whitelist FW WHERE userhost = arg_userhost;
END IF;

If sql_mode includes ANSI_QUOTES when the installation script is run, double quoted strings are interpreted at stored procedure invocation time as identifiers, and the procedure fails:

mysql> CALL mysql.sp_set_firewall_mode('fwuser@localhost', 'RECORDING');
ERROR 1054 (42S22): Unknown column 'RECORDING' in 'field list'

How to repeat:
Set the server sql_mode to 'ANSI_QUOTES'.

SET GLOBAL sql_mode = 'ANSI_QUOTES';

Run the firewall invocation script. Example:

mysql -u root -p mysql < linux_install_firewall.sql

From mysql, invoke one of the stored procedures.

CALL mysql.sp_set_firewall_mode('fwuser@localhost', 'RECORDING');

Suggested fix:
Quote all strings using single quote.
