The TCP socket implementation of sesman has a number of limitations, namely that it is affected by firewalls, and also that determining the user on the other end requires a full authentication process. The advantage of the TCP socket is that sesman and xrdp can be run on separate machines. This is however not supported by the xorgxrdp backend (shared memory), and is insecure, in that passwords are sent in-the-clear, and the connection is susceptible to MitM attacks. This architecture has been deprecated in release notes since xrdp v0.9.17, and although it will continue to be supported in any further releases in the x0.9.x series, it will not be supported in the next major version.
