Hi, I will try to answer your questions:
1) I thinks you don't need and AIX KDC. You can ask the tickets from AIX to an Windows Active Directory. We are using in this way. 2) As far as I know WebSphere is not kerberized. I think that it will introduce some kind of kerberization in the last versión but I had no time to know at what level. Anyway, I assume your WebSphere is running on a AIX box, you will need the Network Authentication Service (AIX MIT based kerberos implementation) client in order to ask tickets to AD. Also depending on the level of kerberization of this last websphere versión you will need to write code in the application to use de Kerberos API. I have didn't it so I can't help you with this point.
