if you download UMLS metathesaurs yourself and use the Dictionary Creator Gui to create your own dictionary from UMLS, then cTAKES does not need to connect to the UTS server to check a UMLS user ID/password. The live check that cTAKES does over the internet at runtime is only used when someone uses a prebuilt dictionary where cTAKES can't tell if you have UMLS credentials without contacting the UTS server. But if you've downloaded UMLS yourself and built your own dictionary, then cTAKES doesn't do that runtime check because in order to download the metathesaurus from UTS, you needed to log into the UTS site.
