Magento Customer created from code not login to the website

Question

I am creating a customer from the code for a specific group code created a new record in the customer_entity table but when I try to login from the website its shows invalid username or password error while the customer created from the magento admin panel working fine and login to the website and redirect to the account page. check my code below:

public function editAction()
{

    $oenologist = Mage::getModel('tandem_oenologistuser/oenologist');

    if ($oenologistId = $this->getRequest()->getParam('id', false)) 
    {
        $oenologist->load($oenologistId);

    }


    if ($postData = $this->getRequest()->getPost('oenologistData')) 
    {
        try {
            $oenologist->addData($postData);
            $oenologist->save();


            if(!$this->getRequest()->getParam('id'))
            {
                $name = $postData['name'];
                $email = $postData['email'];
                $password = '1234567';
                $groupId = 4;
                $websiteIdVal = 1;

                $websiteId = Mage::app()->getWebsite()->getId();
                $store = Mage::app()->getStore();

                $customer = Mage::getModel("customer/customer");
                $customer->setWebsiteId($websiteIdVal)
                         ->setStore($store)
                         ->setFirstname($name)
                         ->setEmail($email)
                         ->setPassword($password)
                         ->setGroupId($groupId)
                         ->setIsActive(1);

                try{
                    $customer->save();
                }
                catch (Exception $e) {
                    Zend_Debug::dump($e->getMessage());
                }

            }

            $this->_getSession()->addSuccess(
                    $this->__('The oenologist has been saved.')
                );


            return $this->_redirect(
                'tandem_oenologistuser_admin/oenologist/edit',
                array('id' => $oenologist->getId())
            );
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            Mage::logException($e);
            $this->_getSession()->addError($e->getMessage());
        }


    }


    Mage::register('current_oenologist', $oenologist);


    $oenologistEditBlock = $this->getLayout()->createBlock(
        'tandem_oenologistuser_adminhtml/oenologist_edit'
    );


    $this->loadLayout()
        ->_addContent($oenologistEditBlock)
        ->renderLayout();
}

Also, its add the website id to 0. I need to check the user on login for this specific group and redirect user to a custom controller action which is the user's custom profile page or is there any way i can customize the account page.

I have used the this link to create the users programmaticaly.

Normally this is happens when you are creating user from admin panel. i have faced the similar situation once time.after the save i have to update the wesite to make user working

 $customer->save();
 $custid=$customer->getId();
 $customer = Mage::getModel('customer/customer')->load($custid);
 $customer->setWebsiteId(1);
 $customer->save();
