Customer Portal - "This application is not accessible." during user approval

Customer Portal - "This application is not accessible." during user approval

Hi,

I am setting up a customer portal for my application. I want my customers to register their accounts rather than be invited so that their 'username' is defined by them, which I have done and is working fine.

I also want to approve the registrations in order to control how many accounts are created and who has access to them. This is working fine, however how can I be notified when the customer has signed up and is awaiting approval?

My main question: When the customer is awaiting approval they are sent to a page that says:

This application is not accessible.
Sorry username, you are not allowed to access application. Please contact this application's administrator.

Is there a way I can change what page the customers awaiting approval will see? There is no confirmation message to the customer at all and therefore no way of them to confirm they are awaiting approval.

Thanks in advance!
