redirect not working after Asp.net Forms Authetication Login using Web.Config

Question

I'm trying to login by storing username and password in web.config file as below

 <authentication mode="Forms">
  <forms loginUrl="Admin Login.aspx" defaultUrl="~/Home.aspx">
    <credentials>
      <user name="Admin"  password="123"  />

    </credentials>
  </forms>
</authentication>

And I wrote this code on submit button

 if (FormsAuthentication.Authenticate(TxtUsername.Text, TxtPassword.Text))
    {

        Response.Redirect(FormsAuthentication.GetRedirectUrl(TxtUsername.Text, false));
    }

but it's not get redirected.. Any suggestion..?

You need to call FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie() before redirecting.

if (FormsAuthentication.Authenticate(TxtUsername.Text, TxtPassword.Text))
{
    FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(TxtUsername.Text, false);
    Response.Redirect(FormsAuthentication.GetRedirectUrl(TxtUsername.Text, false));
}

Have you setup an <authorization> section in your web.config? You need to tell ASP.Net to deny users to a certain page, which will cause a redirect to your login form. Does this make sense?

@dana: if there is no authorization forms authentication and redirect should work normally..

Actual culprit is your credentials tag..
change it to following.. it should work for you..

..
<credentials passwordFormat="Clear">
     ...

and also use

FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(TxtUsername.Text, false);

after authentication, which will set authCookie and redirect to either requested page or to your default page..
