When you request the information of a VM not all the details are
populated by default, including the certificate. Thus the
"get_certificate" method returns None. If you want the certificate data
populated you have to use the "all_content" parameter of the method used
to retrieve the VM:

  vm = api.vms.get(name="myvm", all_content=True)

Then you should be able to get the certificate and the subject.
