Pre-requisites

A working FreeIPA server or RedHat IdM ;)
You must add host and reverse to DNS
You must add complete hostname and short hostname to /etc/hosts
You will need install some packages from AIX media:

GSKit8.gskcrypt32.ppc.rte, GSKit8.gskcrypt64.ppc.rte, GSKit8.gskssl32.ppc.rte, GSKit8.gskssl64.ppc.rte, krb5.lic, krb5.client, krb5.doc.en_US, krb5.toolkit, krb5.server idsldap.license64, idsldap.cltbase64, idsldap.clt32bit64, idsldap.clt64bit64, idsldap.cltjava64, idsldap.clt_max_crypto32bit64, idsldap.clt_max_crypto64bit64

You can install it with smit or installp. In my case I make a tarball and uploaded to a web server, with Ansible I retrieve the file to every IPA client and install it.

Generate host records and keytabs manually

kinit admin
ipa host-add happyserver.gbmdc.dc
ipa-getkeytab -s happyipaserver01.gbmdc.dc -p 'host/happyserver.gbmdc.dc' -k /tmp/happyserver.keytab

Copy keytab file to AIX Server and execute:

mkdir /etc/krb5/
mv /home/estebanescool/happyserver.keytab /etc/krb5/krb5.keytab

Ansible

I automatized this tasks with Ansible, maybe this is great for you, maybe not. Sorry I not will rewrite bash commands. So this is the yml file:
