OK, I do not know a lot about AIX, but I would suggest you look into
freeIPAs schema compatibility plugin.

If that is enabled and you answer yes to:

"Do you want to enable support for trusted domains in Schema Compatibility
plugin?
This will allow clients older than SSSD 1.9 and non-Linux clients to work
with trusted users.

Enable trusted domains support in slapi-nis?"

When running: ipa-adtrust-install on ipa servers

Then AD users can be found with an ldap search from
"cn=users,cn=compat,dc=your,dc=domain,dc=com".

However the LDAP schema will be RFC 2307 instead of RFC 2307bis.
