If you setup trusts between IPA and AD then yes.
If not then you need to ssh from the system that belongs to the API domain.
IPA does not support Windows systems to be joined to IPA domain. But you
can configure kerberos for Windows and use local Windows accounts. There
are some HowTos on the wiki about it.
Alternatively you join Linux systems to AD and use it as your central
authentication server then SSO would also work but you will loose
ability to manage your Linux related policies.

Trusts is probably the best for you but there will be dragons.
