Issue

The test test_integration/test_cert.py::TestInstallMasterClient::test_certmonger_ipa_responder_jsonrpc is unstable and randomly fails.

Test scenario:
- install IPA server and client
- store the date
- request a certificate on the client using ipa-getcert
- check in the journal that the request was done using the https://.../ipa/json URI

The check in the journal is done with journalctl --since=date but the date was obtained on the test runner with a python call time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S').

If the clocks from the runner and client are not synchronized, even 1s time drift could lead to the test failing. It would be best to obtain the time from the client at the beginning of the test.
