[strongSwan] Enabled eap-radius doesn't log session information

Hello,

I have setup StrongSwan successfully with FreeRadius.  I can create a new
user in the radcheck table inside radius DB and authenticate with the VPN
with that user afterwards.

However, there is no information saved inside the radacct table. I was
expecting to see the session time of a connected user and find out a way to
count the traffic a user has been utilising.

But why is the table empty?

I install StrongSwan like this, I don't specifically compile it with
*./configure
--enable-eap-radius*

Instead, I install it like this, is that ok?

add-apt-repository ppa:freeradius/stable-3.0 -y
apt-get install -y language-pack-en strongswan strongswan-ikev2
libstrongswan-standard-plugins strongswan-libcharon libcharon-extra-plugins
freeradius freeradius-utils freeradius-mysql


*# vim /etc/strongswan.conf*

charon {
        load_modular = yes
        plugins {
                include strongswan.d/charon/*.conf
        }
}

include strongswan.d/*.conf


*# vim /etc/strongswan.d/charon/eap-radius.conf*

servers {
server-a {
            accounting = yes
            secret = ${CLIENT_SECRET}
            address = 127.0.0.1
            auth_port = 1812
            acct_port = 1813
}
}


*# vim /etc/ipsec.conf*
