How is your UserIdentity validates your login? Does it checks the database directly? We need more info to help you out

Yes it checks the database directly, without any encryption. I have printed out the error code in the log file, it shows error code is 100 which is i think is unknown identity error so my first perception(password incorrect one) was not right now, the application was showing the default error which is unknown identity. Here is UserIdentity.php http://pastebin.com/emWFEwZc Here is LoginForm.php http://pastebin.com/r8WxW0CQ Here is SiteController.php http://pastebin.com/VYL3DcXV Here is login.php http://pastebin.com/0BhbhbmU

I have just checked your pastbin and sorry to say that i a bit messy. I wouldn't include the strncmp there and check for non-zero but to check for its validity: if(strncmp($pass1, $pass2, $n) === 0) /* ERROR_NONE */ return true; I would not recommend non-encrypted password values on the db, and string comparison is always a pain.
