It Works :D, and here is what I did:

Test environment: One realm domain with two Centos 7 / ipa 3.3 masters,
one trusted AD forest (windows 2008R2 controllers), one Centos 7 file
server.

Step 1) On the file server enable mkosek's COPR ipa repo:
https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/mkosek/freeipa/

2) Install required packages packages:
yum -y install ipa-client sssd-libwbclient samba samba client

3) join file server to the ipa realm:
ipa-client-install --mkhomedir

Please note that this step fails, shortly after creating the keytab and
configuring sssd, probably caused by the version mismatch between ipa
server (3.3) and client (4.1). I will report the failure shortly.
Because of the failure I had to complete part of the join procedure
manually:
authconfig --enablesssdauth --enablemkhomedir --update (on the client)
ipa dnsrecord-add my.realm sambatest --a-rec=x.y.w.z (on ipa server)

4) On the ipa server create the cifs principal for samba:
ipa service-add cifs/sambatest.my.realm

5) Install keytab on the samba host:
ipa-getkeytab -s ipaserver.my.realm -p cifs/sambatest.my.realm
-k /etc/samba/samba.keytab

6) Edit /etc/samba/smb.conf on the samba file server:
[global]
	workgroup = MY
	realm = MY.REALM
	dedicated keytab file = FILE:/etc/samba/samba.keytab
	kerberos method = dedicated keytab
	log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
	security = ads

[homes]
	browsable = no
	writable = yes

[shared]
	path = /home/shared
	writable = yes
	browsable=yes
	write list = @admins

7) To enable samba /home sharing one should turn on a selinux boolean:
setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs on

8) restart samba

Testing:

On another linux member of the IPA domain it is possible to connect to
the samba shares using smbclient -k :
kinit user at MY.REALM
smbclient -k -L sambatest.my.realm
smbclient -k //sambatest.my.realm/shared

On a windows machine, member of the AD domain it is possible to connect
to the samba shares typing in the windows explorer location bar:
\\sambatest.my.realm
Also, if the ad user is an (indirect) member of the IPA admins group,
thanks to the trust relationship, with the above smb.conf he may have
write access to the \shared folder.

Thanks to the ipa and sssd teams for this great enablement!
