Here is a good catch-22.

When a user without any permissions on a site requests access from the _layouts/AccessDenied.aspx page it takes them to the Request Access page (_layouts/ecm_reqacc.aspx).

When the user fills out the form with a simple message it is supposed to send an email to the address specified in the site collection and take them to _layouts/confirmation.aspx.

Unfortunately the users are getting another access denied error instead. I have tried going to _layouts/accessdenied.aspx on a site I am the administrator of and the email is sent fine, so it is not a problem with sending the emails.

What should I check and/or give access to in order for authenticated, but not permissioned users the ability to send access requests?

Can your users click cancel 3 times (or authenticate 3 times) and still get to the reqacc.aspx page? If so, it sounds like you need to add your SharePoint site to the "Local Intranet" sites under IE: Tools->Internet Options->Security->Local Intranet->Sites->Advanced. – vinny Mar 5 '10 at 17:24
This is a permission error for our limited access users. They do not have access to some pages. Including the _layouts/confirmation.aspx – Nat Mar 7 '10 at 22:52
