### Issue
changing the freeipa ui apache server cert fails.

ipa-server-certinstall -w -p whatever  --pin=""   /etc/ssl/a.pem.crt   /etc/ssl/private/a.pem.key
fails with

ipapython.ipautil: DEBUG: stderr=
dbus.connection: ERROR: Unable to set arguments ({'template-subject': <Name(O=1.QUIETFOUNTAIN.COM,CN=registry.1.quietfountain.com)>},) according to signature 'a{sv}': <class 'TypeError'>: Don't know which D-Bus type to use to encode type "Name"

ipapython.admintool: DEBUG: The ipa-server-certinstall command failed, exception: TypeError: Don't know which D-Bus type to use to encode type "Name"
ipapython.admintool: ERROR: Don't know which D-Bus type to use to encode type "Name"
ipapython.admintool: ERROR: The ipa-server-certinstall command failed.

#### Steps to Reproduce
See above, 100%

Change
def add_subject(request_id, subject):
    """
    In order for a certmonger request to be renwable it needs the subject
    set in the request file.

    When an existing certificate is added via start-tracking it won't have
    a subject_template set. !!!
    """
-    add_request_value(request_id, 'template-subject', subject)
+    add_request_value(request_id, 'template-subject', str(subject))

and it works.
certmonger/eoan,now 0.79.6-2 amd64 [installed,automatic]

I'm concerned my 'fix' will not result in certmonger actually doing the right thing, but at least the command completes 'normally'.  I'll leave it to the freeipa brain trust from here.

Upstream test added in ipatests/test_integration/test_installation.py::TestInstallCA::test_cert_install_with_IPA_issued_cert hence setting the TestCaseProvided keyword.
