Clicking the "sign in as a different user" link from the system menu in SP 2010 yields an access denied error.

URL is:

\_layouts\closeConnection.aspx?loginasanotheruser=true

any ideas?

Is this a site that was created using the publishing template? – Lori Jan 19 '12 at 17:17
i think so, its a publishing site for sure – BobTodd Jan 19 '12 at 17:25
Are you getting authentication popup when you click on "Sign in as a different user" or is it directly bringing the access denied error? Is it a particular user who is getting access denied error when passing the credentials? – Deepu Nair Jan 19 '12 at 17:40
Also check to see if the ViewFormsLockDown feature is enabled. It is by default when using the publishing site template. – Lori Jan 19 '12 at 18:13
its before the authentication popup, any user is getting it – BobTodd Jan 20 '12 at 9:11
