In the (longish) past (circa 2001) I've had good results using PHProjekt 
under a secure web connection:

http://www.phprojekt.com/

It's still under somewhat active development it seems.

If you have LDAP authentication working, this should be no problem. 
Otherwise, it seems to fit your stated requirements.

  Rob Anderson of SLUG (Seacoast/Durham) set up a Plone server for LUG
use.  You can check it out at: http://slug.gnhlug.org/

Horde does all that.

KnowledgeTree is a good document management system in PHP and can
integrate with other systems like Drupal which is an extensible
framework and Content Management System for the other modules.  Drupal
actually has modules like webFM that do file management -- but I
suggest KnowledgeTree if you want to add in workflows and true
document management.

I've never really like Plone, but if you're looking for something
Python and Zope-based, then you should like Plone as an intranet.

Can't say I have a lot of experience with it, but I think Alfresco 
deserves a look:


Also, I'd recommend staying away from FirstClass.
And I say that as a long-time rabid user of FirstClass.
The last release seems to have jumped a level of complexity that made it 
(at least for us) way too difficult to use.
