Thanks Antoine!I am just starting to look into this aspect and trying to 
understand what the risks are. 
I understand that risks are very use case dependent. So please excuse me for 
vague question. 

Do you think that once I setup TLS transport for the HTML5 client, it will make 
client reasonably secured against most common security concerns?If I plan to 
take up a project for myself, would it be super hard to try to integrate the 
HTML5 client with some sort of single-sign-on using Auth0 or something 
similar?Do you have any recommendations or thoughts?
 Regards, 
Mukul

The (optional) authentication credentials are sent in the http request.
Those are processed by the HTML5 client javascript code.

No.
The HTML5 client only uses a single websocket connection to the server.

There are no HTTP requests after downloading the HTML5 client.

What "session"? (as per above, there is no HTTP session)
The HTML5 websocket connection to the xpra server does not expire.
