Impersonators must be implemented as in-process servers.

This interface is implemented by the application filter.
Impersonators are typically implemented by the Firewall service, as in the case when the service is performing an access check. This holds true for sessions that were created by the Firewall service. When a session has been created by a filter by using the IFWXFirewall::CreatePrivateSession method, impersonation is performed by the application filter on behalf of the Firewall service through IFWXImpersonator.
Impersonators can also be implemented by filters that hold user credentials and are designed to function as application gateways. A filter implements IFWXImpersonator by using IFWXSession::ImpersonateClient and IFWXSession::RevertToSelf.
