WSS/WAS requires authentication. I wonder if and which http_referer header is usually sent to the server when using openlayers. You could check if this header either contains the url where your site runs or if it is empty/not set for clients not sending this header. This can be realized in the apache configuration or a wrapper. Not 100% secure but helps to avoid the use of your WMS on other public sites.
FYI this thread was cross-posted to the openlayers list and the Referrer option was discussed there as well earlier today:
