After calling RpcImpersonateClient and completing any tasks that require client impersonation, the server calls RpcRevertToSelf to end impersonation and to reestablish its own security identity.
This function is supported only by Windows NT.
#include <rpc.h>
RPC_STATUS RPC_ENTRY RpcRevertToSelf (VOID);
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| RPC_S_OK | Success. |
| RPC_S_NO_CALL_ACTIVE | Server does not have a client to impersonate. |
| RPC_S_INVALID_BINDING | Invalid binding handle. |
| RPC_S_WRONG_KIND_OF_BINDING | Wrong kind of binding for operation. |
| RPC_S_CANNOT_SUPPORT | Not supported for this operating system, this transport, or this security subsystem. |
In a multithreaded application, if the call to RpcImpersonateClient is with a handle to another client thread, you must call RpcRevertToSelfEx with the handle to that thread to end impersonation.
