Problems With the <location> element in my Web.Config

Im trying to setup impersonation in the root directory and turn it off (
false ) in another directory. im doing to allow my crystal reports to work (
as i get the login failed message ) and also ensure that only certain people
has access to the maintenance folder ( impersonation = true ). Here is the
webconfig :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuratio n>

<system.web>

</system.web>

<location path="~/Maintenance">
<system.web>
<identity impersonate="fa lse"/>
</system.web>
</location>
</configuration>
