RpcRevertToSelf function (rpcdce.h)

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.

Syntax

RPC_STATUS RpcRevertToSelf();

Return value

Value	Meaning
RPC_S_OK	The call succeeded.
RPC_S_NO_CALL_ACTIVE	The server does not have a client to impersonate.
RPC_S_INVALID_BINDING	The binding handle is invalid.
RPC_S_WRONG_KIND_OF_BINDING	This is the wrong kind of binding for this operation.
RPC_S_CANNOT_SUPPORT	The call is not supported for this operating system, this transport, or this security subsystem.

 

Note  For a list of valid error codes, see RPC Return Values.

 

Remarks

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.
