The method for salting and hashing the password is probably different in AIX, remember you's passing a hashed password and that's platform dependent. You will have to find a way to do that for AIX. There's some information in the following links

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/faq.html#how-do-i-generate-crypted-passwords-for-the-user-module
