Role base Authentication in MVC

I am creating role base authentication with User and UserRole Table. But my login page redirect again and again. I can see 302 error in Inspect element utility.

Below are source code

MyAccount Controller

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.Web.Security;
using EasyApp.Models;
namespace EasyApp.Controllers
{
public class MyAccountController : Controller
{
// GET: MyAccount
[AllowAnonymous]
public ActionResult Login()
{
return View();
}
[AllowAnonymous]
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Login(Login l, string ReturnUrl = "")
{
using (LPDBContext dc = new LPDBContext())
{
var user = dc.Users.Where(a => a.Username.Equals(l.Username) && a.Password.Equals(l.Password)).FirstOrDefault();
if (user != null)
{
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(user.Username, false);
if (Url.IsLocalUrl(ReturnUrl))
{
return Redirect(ReturnUrl);
}
}
ModelState.AddModelError("UserName", "username or password is incorrect !");
ModelState.Remove("Password");
return View();
}
}
[Authorize]
public ActionResult Logout()
{
FormsAuthentication.SignOut();
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Main");
}
}
}

Main Controller

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
namespace EasyApp.Controllers
{
[Authorize]
public class MainController : Controller
{
// GET: Main
[AllowAnonymous]
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
[Authorize]
public ActionResult EDPDashboard()
{
return View();
}
[Authorize(Roles ="Admin")]
public ActionResult DPDashboard()
{
return View();
}
[Authorize(Roles = "Admin")]
public ActionResult RTFlim()
{
return View();
}
}
}
