I am using MVC3 and have put the user authentication in the web.config file. This is to bypass sqlserver authentication.

code as below in web.config:

<authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms loginUrl="~/Account/LogOn" timeout="2880" >
        <credentials passwordFormat="Clear">
          <user name="test123" password="test123" />
        </credentials>
      </forms>
</authentication>

I tried login with the mentioned user id and password, I am getting error in the page as

Login was unsuccessful. Please correct the errors and try again.

* The user name or password provided is incorrect.

when I debug into the AccountController.cs file, failing at the MembershipService.ValidateUser(model.UserName, model.Password) method.
