Description

As discussed here if a context variable is used for referencing objects (e.g. for the name of the authentication provider used by a port) then the broker fails with an error.

References to objects should act as other attributes and properly interpolate values before evaluation.

Note that on creating an object interpolation would work, however it fails on recovery (i.e. on startup).
